Last FO of 2007.
I got the yarn Sat. This was a fun knit, but it took a day to get used to the twisty stitches.
Koolhaas hat.
malabrigo yarn - worsted. not even one skein.
size 6 & 8 16" addi circs.
Its true. malabrigo is very soft to work with, and warm to wear.
This hat will go to a friend who's birthday is in 2 weeks. yes, I know. I look like I really love it (I DO!) but she asked for it.
good news- I have another skein of this malabrigo!
;-)
P.S. I know I have not spelled out my 2008 resolutions. I am still working on the short list. One thing comes up on all the short lists- steeks.......................................

It looks great! I had some issues getting used to the twisted stitches too - and then once I did I was worried I'd keep doing them that way all the time!
Happy New Year to you!
Steeks? Eeek! Brave you. Me, I simply cannot bring my mind to believe that cutting stitches is RIGHT. I know, I know - but still, when it comes to it, I always wimp out.
Happy New Year to you from a wild, wet and windy West Cork.
I love it. And steeks - yesssss. Happy New Year!
Oh, how sweet do you look in that photo? Happy new year. x
it is a great hat: what else to expected from a hat wich is named after a Dutch architect? ;-)
I am lucky to live in a city (breda) where he just build some wonderful houses. look here:http://www.chasse-park.nl/
I love that hat. I have to add it to my to do list - my goddaughter and her sister seem to think hats are THE coolest thing right now....
Happy 2008 -- look forward to seeing your goals!
I love that hat! I have it on my list to make, too!
Happy New Year!
(((hugs)))
It's so nice! Happy New Year!
Happy new year yourself my friend. Great hat there... Looks great! ok, we will be steeking together... also first time for me!
The hat looks like a great way to end 2007. I'm looking forward to visit your blog in 2008, and see your coming FO's in 2008. Happy New Year! :-)
How funny, Koolhaas was my final 2007 knit as well! In a very similar color, too, I might add. It looks much nicer with your curly hair, though! :)
Steeks are definitely on my to-do list, but it's such a long list it might be awhile before I get to them!
Happy New Year Hila, I look forward to reading more of what life sends your way.
I think you should knit yourself one because it looks perfect on you!
That hat is awesome. Guess your friend doesn't read your blog or else she'd be drooling!
