Ready for winter

Thank you for your birthday wishes! I had a great day, surrounded by family. And now on to the knitting content:

The Nordic Sweatheart Hat is finished!

Well, almost. It's lacking a tassel, but I won't be in the same place the yarn is in until thursday, so that will have to wait. I like how it turned out, even though I think it is a bit too small. Next time I would use 3.5 mm (for the outer hat) and 3 mm (for the inner hat) needles instead of 3 mm and 2.5 mm.

Here's a picture of the construction:

Clever, isn't it? And the pattern is completely free!

Gefeliciteerd! Turns out dat we bijna even oud zijn. Ik word op 1 oktober ook 32 ;-)

What a great hat! I always seem to make my hats too small on the first go. I seem to think my head is smaller than it actually is!
