While perusing the racks at the local yarn shop, I came across this hat. I picked up a skein of O-Wool Balance in a purple tone (although it looks dark in the picture, I think it might be Amethyst). I have no hats for the winter so I thought this would be a good quick project to get me back into the knitting swing of things. You work up the band first, and unfortunately my cables are looking a little nebulous. I'm generally too lazy to use a cable needle and instead hold the stitches forward or back with my fingers, but I'm thinking that might be half of my problem so I'm going to suck it up and do it the way you're supposed to.

I bought some other skeins of dark maroon yarn to make up fingerless gloves with a matching hat, but when I spied these in the movie Twilight, I decided to try and make up my own pair. I can't find a decent picture of them, but they're long in what looks like a fairly bulky weight yarn. Can't wait to see if I can make a decent pattern for them on my own.

Also: one more day until the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade!
