First Fair Isle!
Official begin day:  Friday night.   Official finish:  late Sunday night.  It's the Celtic Harbor Hat from Blackberry Ridge, the yarn is EL Angora from Webs.
 Isn't Paco a great model?  Toby would never stand for such shenanigans.

 The hat has an interesting construction-- so interesting that I modified it greatly.  Essentially, the inside brim was to be a 1x1 rib, and I just wasn't going to have any of that.  Stockinette is much easier to wear against your brow, and it'll mess up your perfectly styled hair!  I kitchnered the two ends together on the inside of the hat, then picked up the top row and created a classic star decrease at the top.  I've been wearing it all week, and it's been a lovely addition to my morning commute!

Brilliant!
Turned out fabulous, Deb! Paco- too cute. Looking forward to seeing it in person.
I'm contemplating the Sunflower Tam (from Knitting Nature). Oh, circa 2015?
