    The last photo is awesome. However, the details are a bit off. Shirley Bennet is the knitter who did a wonderful job, Deborah Fillmer is the Nautical Knitter and designer of the stole. Just thought I would mention it. Thanks, Deborah Fillmer (aka Nautical Knitter :-)

    gosh I'm all flustered!! :-) I didn't expect to be here:-) but am thrilled! It was truly fun to knit with the Alpaca Lace on the Tuscany and I look forward to four more shawl projects I have lined up with the denim, turtle:-)& even the purple that I fell in love with just over the weekend!
    But did forget to mention that I've also started on a self designed Grown Woman's shrug in the Sierra Chili and can't wait to finish that and get it posted too! :-)

    Send a picture and I will happily post other projects - especially self designed ones. Thank you for the clarification on the Nautical Knitter pattern as my wording was not as clear as it should have been.

Honeycomb Cable Hat - Greenland

I got the brilliant idea this year to knit a number of people gifts.  I managed to finish 6 projects in the month of December and write out the patterns for most of them.  One of my favorites was this lovely cabled hat knit in Greenland .  Greenland is one of my favorite yarns - it has this amazing springy twists and has fabulous stitch definition.  Sadly, I seem to never get a chance to knit it. The finished hat shown is for an average adult - finished (unstretched) measurement is 7" wide and 8" long from the cast on edge.  I cast on 88 stitches.  It can easily be adapted to be smaller (cast on 80 stitches) or larger (cast on 96 stitches). Materials: (1), 1, (2) ball Greenland (100% Superwash Merino Wool - 137 yds/100 g) - shown in color 3549 US 7 - 16" circular needles US 9 - 16" circular needles Cable needle (or spare DPN) Stitch Marker Abbrevations K - Knit P - Purl cn - cable needle Sl - slip 4-st RC - Sl 2 sts to cn and hold to back
