And another quick project I finished within two hours on a lazy Saturday afternoon. I needed a hat, you know? And I had two skeins of the Ragazza Lei in purple left. But I wasn’t able to knit in rounds.

So, what to do? Use ravelry’s super useful pattern search and look for a hat that is knitted flat. And with 12 mm needles. What I found was a pattern for a speedy cabled beret by Paulina Chin. And after two hours my new hat was finished (^^)v

Of course I ran out of yarn three rows from the end AGAIN! But I’ve got one skein of Austermann’s Bombolo which is horrible to work with and doesn’t seem to knit or crochet into anything beautiful. BUT finally, I had use for it and  it gave a nice finishing touch to my beret.
