Alaska hat

Very colourful. Enjoy wearing it.

Wow, I love that! Well done!

It’s lovely x

That's amazing! So very pretty.
Was it difficult?
It's great to see you posting btw Purplepixie ??

I just posted saying how I like that and zoomed up to see the trees! But it didn't appear so repeating!!!

It's beautiful. Never thought I'd say this - pity the weather's warming up ?

Really pretty Purplepixie - I love it!

Love the colours PP - ?

Beautiful. I love it. Well done.

So clever. Thank you for sharing. It's always good to see what others have achieved.

Thank you for your kind words. It wasn’t too difficult as I have done a lot of Fairisle in the past. It’s knitted using King Cole Bramble DK wool with some black DK that I had in my stash box.

I know what you mean about the weather warming up. I knit so much more in the colder months. In the warm summer days I tend to go back to my watercolour painting. Have a lovely weekend and please stay safe. ?

It's really cold here today in St.Andrews, please send hat ! Love it !

Truly a work of art .

That's lovely Pixie and looks very complicated. Plus, I think it takes a great deal of patience to make a pom-pom. I recall making them as a child with circular pieces of cardboard and getting a bit fed up with them towards the end as the smaller the hole got in the middle the harder it became to push the wool through.

Hi [PurplePixie], what a beautiful hat, well done!

Would you mind if I asked which of the Bramble shades you used, was it Haze?

Thank you x

It was Loganberry. Beautiful wool.

I've found a quicker way to do pom poms. Thread the wool on a darning needle and put the wool through with that. Much quicker. Oh and double the wool on the needle.

I am loving this thread.

I have pompom makers, little bits of plastic that you can use again and again.

I love that yarn!

PurplePixie thank you x

Your welcome. ?

I love that hat! Very clever, lovely yarn.

I can't knit or crochet in the hot weather; it's like winter again today though.

Those pompom makers look better than the ones I bought from Lidl, the pompom I made was pathetic.

I must not buy more yarn

Gorgeous hat purplepixie, you’re very talented.

I like the look of those pompon thingies Algerias, I may have a look for them to make with the DGDs.

Purplepixie, what a lovely hat! Is it a Ravelry pattern? I've seen something similar there. It looks complicated. When I was younger I used to enjoy Scandinavian patterns and my Mum was good with Fairisle. Not sure if I am up to the challenge now!
