What's on your needles?

A small but satisfying project.

This hat was designed by Hitomi Shida.  Gayle Roehm taught the techniques a knitting camp in Colorado Springs last year.  The pattern is in her wonderful book called Japanese Knitting Stitch Bible that includes 260 exquisite patterns by Hitomi Shida, which Gayle translated into English.  It is available on Amazon, and very inspiring.   The best new technique I learned is how to do a 2 stitch cable without using a cable needle.  Very satisfying.  Thanks, Gayle!
More projects will be added after Christmas.  They're all presents!
