Pattern- I pretty much made this pattern up as I went along, casting on 66 stitches. I knit in the round, creating a k1, p1 ribbing for 2 inches, and then knitting a single horseshoe cable and the rest in reverse stockinette.
Yarn- I'm already a fan of Beaverslide's yarns and roving, but this Tamarack stuff really pleased me. When I ordered it online, I thought it was just a dark chocolate brown with some flecks of white, but when I was knitting with it, I realized that it also has bits and fibers of bright yellow, which looks great with the brown! It doesn't really show in these pictures (the sun was already on it's way out at 4:00 pm today), but just trust me- it's there. The fisherman weight yarn also has this great felted-type quality to it, so it's light-weight but chunky. I love that.

OOOOh! It's pretty and chunky!
Such a charming hat, just right with your hair cut!
Boo, you made this in ONE sitting? You are knit genius. Is there a woolen cap for a man that I might have? On the road home from Salem Hospital tonight, my neck was hurting so bad, I guess from straining to see in the rain and dark, so I wrapped around it my beloved sage green scarf ... and, yes, by the time I got to Gladstone, my neck was warm, relaxed ... no pain! Soooo looking forward to seeing you in December, my Second. I love you. dad
