A Happier Hat!

The mYak hat is now redone.  Is it a perfect job?  That would be a "no."  It is a good enough, wearable job.

The hat is photographed like this so that you can see the weirdness of the color jog.  While this could have been done better, it was not.   It is not a huge deal and I believe that I will be the only person bothered by it.

This time, I knit the mYak at 5 stitches to the inch.  The fabric was firm, yet pliable.  When I tried that hat on, it covered my ears and fit tightly enough to be good for cold day wear.

This time, I did do a gauge swatch.  As I was knitting, I kept a close on the the yarn to make sure I would not run out.  I really did not want to put another $30 into this project.   As I was knitting this, I kept thinking about hats, what I like to wear, and what I am willing to knit.  It is time to be more adventurous.
