Completion is nice...

Finally!  The hat is done!  Its a pretty red color.  In artificial light it looks to be a rust-red color, but in sunlight, its this nice dark color.  Pictures!

Look at the neat pattern!

This is out in the sunlight, mind you, its late August hot sunlight, but it shows the differences in color nicely.

Star on top of the hat!

Now, I just wish I had a mannequin head for display purposes LOL!  I will NOT under any circumstances put one on someone else's head for photo purposes, not even for trying because of health issues, especially if I want to sell them!  I had to take a picture of the top of the hat because of the neat star pattern it created when I weaved the seam together. 

What is my next project you ask? I have about half a skein left of the yarn from the hat, so I think I will do a headband out of what is left.  I do have another skein of this color, so should I run out, I have enough.  But what to do after the headband? Oh, the choices are too much!  Also, tomorrow is payday, and the urge to buy more yarn is sooooo great.  Must resist... Must be strong...  I think a Saturday trip to JoAnn's fabric is in order!  Also, the patience of waiting for my package from Knitpicks is tough.  My double-pointed needles are in there!  My wishlist on Knitpicks has grown exponentially!  It went from being only about $200, now its at almost 800!  Some day, I will have all that... LOL!

Anyways, off to knit a bit!  Maybe even run down to walmart to get the handwashing soap to wash up my scarf and hat.  Etsy, here I come!
