Blue Unoriginal Hat

I enjoyed knitting my Unoriginal Hat by the Yarn Harlot so much that I had to knit another one! I bought some Tweedle Dee yarn at Michaels on Black Friday for $1.99 to make more. I knitted it in one sitting, in about 3.5 hours!

Quite awesome!

I stopped at the Kirkwood Knittery this morning because of their big sale. I was hoping to get some more sock yarn for $1 like I did at the Super Bowl. No luck on the sock yarn, but I did get:

More Sitar from Nashua Handknits

1 Skeins in Brilliant Dusk

2 Skeins in Jungle

1 Skein in Earth

Noro Hana Silk

4 Skeins Lavendar, 4 Skeins Purple, 4 Skeins Lavendar, 8 Skeins Teal and 8 Skeins Green (of course)

And, Lasso Collinette in Mint Chocolate.

I also had a little help taking the photos.
