| Fair Isle Tam in Patons Classic Wool |
Generally when I knit hats they come out far too large and so I took preemptive action and brought the needle size down from a 7 to a 4 for this hat. When I block it, the wool should grow just enough so that it it is a regular-size hat. But if not, I have nieces of all sizes and there's this thing called Christmas where you can unload your failure knit goods onto the world.
In other news I was all excited because I finished something! I was like "YES! I can post this on my blog because it's been SOOOO long since I finished anything!"
You know what it was?

Nevermind.
Joining up with Tamis Amis today.
Happy knitting!
P.S. My shawl is growing slowly but steadily; I knit on it only at lunchtime at work.

Oh hey I found a close-up!
Holy crap you go down so many needle sizes! I usually knit them too small and have to go up one or two needle sizes, but then again I haven't attempted one in colorwork yet, I generally knit loose with colorwork. Socks look lovely, I'm still too afraid to make some, meh.
