Knitting as Necessity

I knew moving to Seattle would affect my knitting. Not the actual process, but rather the types of things I would create. Over the past few days, it have become shockingly clear how little I was prepared for a Pacific Northwest winter. Granted, the weather we have been experiencing has not been seen in fifty years. Still, snow and freezing temperatures at sea level have prompted me to take drastic measures.



That's a hat. For me. The first I have knit for myself. An entire hat in one evening is not a terrible accomplishment. It's Hannah (rav. link), formerly of MagKnits and now available on Ravelry. I like it for 3 reasons. 1) Bulky alpaca; 2) Ponytail hole; 3) Snowflake buttons.

Let the snow fly!
