New Pattern! Drawstring Hat and Neck Warmer 2010

Hiyaaaaa

SO!! I finally have a new pattern.
I think I'm going to try to design one drawstring hat every year.
This year its looong.

Anyways, you can purchase the pattern from Ravelry or Etsy.


I just have one tip to everyone who is thinking of trying to knit this.

BLOCKING IS NECESSARY.

When you knit lace, it looks horrible right off the needle.
I mean, seriously. Look at this!

This is how the hat (Sapphire) looked when I just finished.
After blocking, it looked like the finished product.
This happens with every lace project, so if you're a first time lace pattern knitter, don't get discouraged!
