[...] yarn, too! The sock/fingering weight is great for socks and things like the Sockhead hat (here’s the one that I made with Biscotte & Cie – so fun), mitts, gloves, and scarves. The worsted weight is great [...]

Any suggestion on working the short rows after the 4 rounds of purl? After knitting 35 stitches, WT, then isn’t it purling instead of knitting 10 WT- now you’d be on the third row knit to 2 sts past previously wrapped stitches, turn now were back on purl and the direction say to repeat the last row (row 3) So do I knit to the original row 1 (35) or row 2 (10). Is it knitting back and forth on the 10 stitches or the 35 stitches? Thanks!

I have wanted to make the Ana bandana (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ana-2) ever since I first saw it on a blog years ago. I don’t know if you can get in the pattern, but I’d totally buy the yarn and knit that hat!

I would like to add one more awsome hat to the collection mentioned in the blog.
I bought this pattern a couple of years ago and still havn’t made it. Now with this little nudge I went into my patterns and pulled it out. I really need to make this now. Best part is I have just the yarn for it.

I didn’t have hats on my Christmas list but if time allows I think I’ll add a couple. My Christmas is a little more than half done. This year I had special circumstances. In my family we had a very special year of birthdays. Those turning a new page, Aunt 90, Sister in law 80, older sister 70, and younger sister 60. Since this incredible event was for 2012 I really wanted to finish everyone’s gift before Christmas. I’ve been working on both together. Christmas Gift Knitting include wraps, shawls, knee socks, shrug,
capelets and cowls. Cliff House Cowl so far is my favorite of those done.

Finally, let me say my order this week arrived today and I am very very excited about it. To me this is real treasure. I hadn’t heard about it and called TLE to ask and was told what a lovely yarn it is. It’s even better. It’s Shepherds Wool from Stonehedge Fiber Mill. I planned on a guernsey but when I saw and felt the lucious wool I changed my mind. This wonder denim color was meant to be a Dark and Stormy. Now just need to finish Christmas Knitting so I can make something for me.

I just made the Sockhead hat last week with my Camp Loopy yarn! It turned out very nice and soooo soft (cashmere).

What size needle did you use for the Sockhead hat in Biscotte and Cie?

I love the hats, but I am limited to crocheting these days, because of Rheumatoid Arthritis. Are there some equally cool crocheted hat patterns? Thank you, in advance.
