Finished another hat

I finished my second stranded hat this evening. I think it turned out pretty well. I'm glad to get one of my many work in progress projects completed. I've already cast on for my first lace shawl with my new lace weight yarn. I don't have pictures as of yet, and I've had to start over a couple of times. But I'll figure it out in the end.

Here's a picture of the new hat:


In other news, I have been bitten by the designer bug. I have ideas for a hat pattern and possibly a shawl pattern. I already have the design for the hat charted, but I still have to knit it and make sure it turns out okay. I have so many ideas for designs in my head, I just need to find time to knit them up. It's starting to get hard to find time to knit, especially with the summer weather finally arriving.

Until next time.
~~Happy Knitting~~
