Twiddly Fingers

I'm plagued with Twiddly Finger Syndrome. :) My mother had it, my dad had it for a while, most of my cousins have it. Little known outside my family, TFS is a disorder characterized by an incessant need to constantly do something -- ANYTHING -- with your fingers. Sometimes this takes the form of smoking, sometimes eating, in other cases nail-biting. Having learned to channel this compulsion, I now put hooks and needles in my fingers and make things most of my family members don't need or want.

Knitting Workshop: Color Pattern Hat

Destashing and learning at the same time. This is another project from the Knitting Workshop book by Elizabeth Zimmerman. The white key pattern I took from the book "Here There Be Wyverns," and its a Swedish border design from the 11th-14th century.

METHOD:
Done on size 10 circulars, with leftover Brown Cascade 220 and leftover Cashmerino from the Nautical Hats.

AND WHAT DID WE LEARN?
1. This is a fun and easy hat.
2. I probably should have made the ribbing white. Oh well.
