Christmas knitting

I told myself I wouldn't do any Christmas knitting this year -- too stressful! But I was feeling a little bored after the turkey fest last weekend, so I wandered down to the LUS to see if anything inspired me. I decided I wanted to play around with some Cascade 220, which was determined to be the perfect yarn in the perfect handknit project going on over at Mason-Dixon Knitting.

I decided a hat wouldn't take too long... and I was right. I knit this in about two days, using the Basic Cable hat pattern from SNB Nation. I did lengthen the hat a little by adding one more twist in each cable (six rows).

It was a quick and easy knit -- and non-knitters are always so impressed with cables!

(Don't worry about the fact that there is a mountain man standing in my kitchen. I promise he's a nice guy under all that scruff!)

Cute hat. What'd you think of the Cascade 220?
