Miss Janets Knittings

The present which should have been done 3 months ago! At least it's still cold-ish outside, and there'll probably be snowstorms next winter also, I hope.

Pattern: I started out with the brioche hat from Weekend Knitting by Melanie Falick. Initially it took some effort, frustration and frogging to get the hang of the brioche pattern (this is clearly evident from some of the lower rows of the hat!). This overcome all went smoothly until the crown-shaping, where I did not understand the instructions of the book, but then I found this pattern, which got me through to finish.

Yarn: double stranded 4-ply sock yarn from Hjertegarn (25% nylon, 75% wool)

Needles: 4 mm

Several small things have been completed or nearly so recently. This creature still exists in an early developmental stage, but will appear in her mature life stage tomorrow.
