Hey! No cold dead eyes!

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting

The yarn: A thick 'n' thin homespun, a gift from my friend Abby (with bonus 2290 square feet of rainforest saved! Visit: therainforestsite.com for your own slubby, rainforest saving yarn!)
The pattern: Just One More Row's Scallop Brim Instant Hat
The needles: US 11, 16 inch, bamboo circulars
The notes: Oy! My hands hurt! I never realized how hard it was to work with the slubby wool. The fit isn't great - but the wool is pretty scratchy, so I was going to add a liner anyway. Hopefully it will soften up in the wash, and some blocking will make the scallops come out more (no actual work was used to create the scallop brim-- the basis of the hat is stockinette, and the texture of the yarn is what pulls it into the pattern). But in all - a great way to use that one really awesome skein of handspun that you don't know what else to do with.

I lied, there's one cold, dead eyed photo (isn't there always in my bathroom photo shoots? ...and...
No really, does my head look like a mushroom? (my face clearly gives away the fact that I think my head looks like a mushroom)
