Day 25: I didn't really need another winter hat, but I wanted to do some nalbinding with handspun, specifically some bulky yarn I'd made from my ram's wool years ago. The solitary skein held 355 yards; the hat took 301, and I briefly considered putting tassels on the points to use up the rest but decided instead to use a nalbinding needle to hold a turned-back edge in place. The needle will need to be secured with a bit of the remaining yarn so that it can't be lost. The design is a traditional Scandinavian style, sometimes referred to as a "cat hat" (not to be confused with a "pussy hat") because of the "ears," and in my interation, fits the head snugly. With snow level dropping to 2300 feet this week, I'm all set for chilly weather!
