swirls hat 2

Ever since Leah's first stranded colorwork back in 2/07, she's been enjoying 2-color knitting, but lately she's nuts about doing colorwork. She was so happy with the way her first swirls hat turned out, but it was out the door as a friend's birthday gift so fast that she decided to make another one right away. She chose another skein of Noro and plucked a skein of purple wool from the yarn tag sale bonanza stash, and a few days later...

Again she went with the happy accident bucket hat style that happened on the first go-round. We both love this one every bit as much as the first. There are two more skeins of Noro in the stash and I have a feeling it won't be long until she has a third hat on the needles. Seeing how the contrasting color yarn works up with the Noro colorways is So. Much. Fun!
