The Koolhaas hat for DH is finally done. The stitch pattern is amazing (and the decreases in pattern are genius!), but can I tell you...never again. Yep, once is enough. Especially since I had to make the large size because of DH's BGH (Big Giant Head).
The pattern calls for enough cable crossovers to last a knitting lifetime. I was fortunate that Irishgirlieknits had knit-up several of these and she taught me some tricks to cable without a cable needle. Lifesaver. Thank you, IGK.
Check out Disco's Koolhaas. Gorgeous! Despite how great the hat looks, she says she's not in a hurry to knit another one up soon. Those darn cables...
Pattern: Koolhaas by Brooklyn Tweed/Jared Flood
Yarn: The Plucky Knitter, Cashmere Aran weight, colorway "Flipside"
On the cooking front, I made a tomato sauce I read about on Smitten Kitchen. Delicious and so super easy. Seriously, only three ingredients. Try it.

I just knit my 5th one, lol. Stupid Christmas presents :P
But you're SO right about the genius decreases.
This might be a once a year hat - I don't think I can stay away!
:0)
Gorgeous!!! I love your photoshoot!!
I love that hat! Nice job! I haven't made one yet, but soon. Everyone I know who has made one makes the same comment about the decreases and curiosity is getting the better of me :-)
It is beautiful! It's amazing! (and i'm not ready to knit one - not after my never-ending baby sweater from hell)
great photos, too!
