Back at the Textile Forum, one of our participants, Micky, brought some of her wool along to sell - and of course, there was the siren song of indigo-dyed wool luring me in. Being utterly fond of anything blue, one skein went home with me... and then it sat there while I was trying hard to decide what to do with it.

One 266 m skein of gorgeous blue wool with a little variegation... hand-dyed.


Now I've figured it out. There will be another Spirally Hat in my future - and I'm already almost past the first stage, thanks to a bit of knitting while watching TV in the evenings:

The upper part is almost done - it still has its little starting belly button, though.


 
Now the big remaining question is: Will I finish the hat before it is too warm outside to wear it?
