My gift in the Puyallup Knitting Guild holiday gift exchange was this pattern and yarn for a winter hat. Twined knitting. Not my favorite type of knitting, with all of the twisting and untwisting, but the hat and yarn were so pretty that I was willing to give it a go. That, and Joyce egged me on: "You can do this, you can do this."The timing was excellent because we have had a cold winter and this is a snuggly, soft, warm hat with earflaps. I really like this hat, and I even warmed up (a little bit) to twined knitting.
The details:
- Lisa Ellis Designs Basic Twined Ski Hat
- Yarn: Crystal Palace Taos, 100 percent wool, 1 skein (128 yards), color 02 Gila Bend; trim is Cascade 220 in a sage green from stash
- Needles: US6
- Finished size: Adult

That is such a neat hat - and the yarn colors make me think of Easter eggs. I'm guessing that if nothing else, it was something that made you think of spring, while knitting through the snow ...
