my jacob wool hat!
I did it! I learned to knit in the round and pulled off a scrappy knit hat. It has ribbing, a cinched top, and a basket-type pattern around the sides. I didn't use a pattern, just made it up as I went along. It certainly isn't perfect (actually, it's mostly imperfect) but it fits on my head and is a step above my usual knitting adventures. I'm wearing it right now and will stomp around the soggy farm tonight in my big boots with a toasty skull. Not a bad killing for a weekend in Vermont.

It's beautiful Jenna! How on earth did you do that without a pattern?!?
Your Jacob's Ladder post prompted me to make one of my own...although mine's crotched and not nearly as intricate as yours(also had a little help from you tube). I'm making it for my hubby since he's follically challenged! :) So far it's turning out nicely and I'm hoping to post pics of it on FB tonight or tomorrow.
Thanks for keeping me inspired!
Blessings,

Nice Hat! I just made a brown hat...the snail hat. Check it out when you have a chance. Congratulations on learning to knit in the round~
Impressive hat!
That IS a great hat! And its a greater effort than I ever imagine giving it myself - I never progress past making 3x3" samples. May it keep your noggin warm. :>)
A young boy in a wide brim cowboy hat and a city girl were sitting on a coral fence watching the men work cattle. The little girl asked the boy, "...why do you wear that silly hat?" the boy responded, "Because it fits my head."
I don't know why, but your knit cap made me think of that. (Its a line from the movie "Horse Whisperer.")
way to go!
Cute and functional . . . it's perfect !!
The color is beautiful!
I love the basketweave stitch pattern - so delightful.
Now that you've made a hat, you will find they are hard to stop. I find myself knitting them all the time, particularly because they are ridiculously portable. Luckily, I have a lot of friends with cold heads.
Cute hat! Hats do become addictive- I knitted three right before Christmas and wore a hole in my right index finger from pushing off the yarn....which cured my addiction. Next is socks!
I had no doubt that you could do something like this! Good job!
I love it Jenna!! You should make one for me!!! My "snood hat" (if thats what you want to call it, is still at your parents house. I like to think that your dad wears it when he walks Mel!!! LOL
Hope all is well. Give us a call :)
Good for you! Isn't it so satisfying when you decide to do something you don't know, try it and succeed?! I'm sure having fun reading your blog.
What's going on with the housing situation???
Cool hat! The yarn is gorgeous!
Beautifully done. Congratulations on a completed, warm, hat in the yarn you chose. Don't try for perfection yet, that comes with time and practice. In the meantime, YOU HAVE A GREAT HAT! Nice.
AWESOME Jenna! beautiful job x0x0
I LOVE it! You should make more and sell them. I'd buy!!
It's a lovely hat! I think you must have the spirit of Elizabeth Zimmerman beside you...
Great job! I am envious! I have been trying to learn how to knit on those frustrating circular needles and it's, well, frustrating.
Congratas on a job well done!!!
It looks nice and warm. You are making me wish I knew how to knit. Maybe I can find someone to teach me. I would love to be able to make such things, especially some nice warm socks.
Peace,
Pam
