Good grief! Is this time change thing messing anyone else up today? I meant to get this post done and up hours ago and now the day is just about over. I feel like I’ve been in a fog all day! Anyhoo….
I loved reading your comments with your favorite hat patterns this week. I feel very inspired by all the gorgeous patterns you posted! I did manage to finish my Give ‘Em the Slip hat over the weekend and love it. It’s a great pattern – very easy to memorize and a lot of fun to knit. And the finished hat is warm and snuggly, everything a hat should be.
The winner of the Malabrigo and Give ’Em the Slip pattern picked by Random.org is Hissystitch. Congrats and I’ll be emailing your shortly!
Don’t forget, a new contest starts on Wednesday. In keeping with our November theme of small, quick to knit items, we’ll be talking about mittens, gloves and mitts.


I love the slouch ‘give em the slip’ hat on your site. I’ve never tried Malabrigo but my sister has and loves it.
That is great!!! I need to start some fingerless mittens so if I keep on with your weeks it should take ma week to complete a pair
And congrats to the winner !!!!!
My favorite is ETTA. What a beautiful way to use the stitch pattern!
My fav hat pattern is Karin the Kurbits Hat. I just love colorwork. thanks, Debbie H
I know everyone has done a “Turn-a-Square” but I finally got on the bandwagon and mastered the jogless stripe through this….it really is a great pattern with the square stripes on top. I’ve made 2 for my 2 oldest boys who loved picking their own colors. I’m going to make 4 more for the other 4 hatless kiddos.
I’ve never knitted with this type of yarn and my stash is woefully underrepresentented by worsted weight yarn. Since geniuses always pick green (and I’m such a genius) lettuce is great for me! grin.
