first hat

you read that right, i knitted my first hat! i followed the 'hermione cable and eyelet' pattern, and it worked perfectly, at least i think so

i had never worked with double pointed needles before, so it was a bit of a challenge to get the hang of at first. as were 110 stitches across! but i got it down and i am so pleased with the results, almost happy that it got cold again so that i can wear this some before summer. here a picture of the cables and eyelets...

 can't wait to do another hat!! and if anyone wants one just let me know, you'd just have to buy the yarn since that part is a bit of an expense
