Hermione hat #3


A few weeks ago, I posted pictures of my Hermione hat both here and on Facebook.  A local friend asked if I could make her one, and I was happy to!  I love yarn and having a reason to make things!  I tried to order some here in town but that didn't work out, so I decided to travel to a yarn shop a little ways away in the country to find the perfect yarn.  What was funny is that I wore a bluish shirt yesterday and decided to go to the library for storytime at the last minute.  We're talking it's 10:12 and storytime starts at 10:30!  I ran into my friend there and she commented that the shirt was exactly the color she was looking for!  So with the shirt already on me, I was definitely more prepared to find the right color.

I found a few colors that were okay but not close enough, but then I found this yarn in Malabrigo.  I love Malabrigo, so nice to knit with!  I think the color is a pretty good match, perhaps a speck ligher than the blue of my shirt, but it was definitely the closest I'd found in the yarn shop.

I'm going to post updates as I think about it.  :)

I just titled my post #3.  Yes, I did make another ...

That's not the green yarn that you gave me that I gave back to you is it?! It's beautiful!
