I know we're technically in July but I had to share with you my June Project Spectrum FO!
I initially fell in love with this hat when I saw it on Olga via Knitandtonic! (See the interwebs doing it's inspiration thing again - LOVE!) I thought it would be the perfect slouchy hat to fit my luscious curly hair. I knitted the smallest size and did only 7 repeats of the pattern and think mine came out even slouchier than expected but I love it. Thank goodness too because we all know how it started out!!
The yarn (Sincere Sheep!) softened up a ton after washing. Dyed with indigo, it bleeds while you work with it. As this was my first project working with indigo you can only imagine my happiness when I learned from the dyer, Brooke Sinnes, that that was all supposed to happen!
The yarn is a perfect green, with hints of blues... which technically is SO the PS July color - so there it does work! ;-)
I'm still thinking of what my true blue project will be but in the meantime I have an Adiez that's blocking, a shawl that's being knit and a few other projects up my knitted sleeves!
Very cute! Love the color. I had no idea you could get a greenish shade from indigo.

The hat turned out great. My daughter wants one now too. I have printed the pattern already!

The colour of that hat is completely edible :)
At the risk of sounding like a creepy fangirl, I read your blog a lot, but I've never commented before. It is an inspiration! Thank you!
