This is the hat that Ginny Weasley wears in the fourth film, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I harbor a secret desire to be Ginny - we both have red hair, but she is much more kickass than I usually dare to be. This style of this hat is very out of the ordinary for me, but my Harry Potter obsession will allow me to overcome the qualms I have about its color and bow.
Meanwhile, I've been making a stuffed pig from a free pattern at Knitpicks:
The pattern calls for bulky, thick-and-thin Spinnaker and the lovely Shine Sport. It's been a lot of fun to knit so far.
I've also been working on Orangina:
It's going kind of slowly, but I'm really enjoying this knit. It's relaxing and I love the yarn (3/2 pearle cotton). I'll be very excited to finish this, because my summer wardrobe could use another black tank!
And finally, I too have joined the throngs of knitters working on Mystery Stole Three. My yarn and beads just arrived yesterday, so I am quite far behind. This will be my first lacey shawl project, and I've been color-coding and highlighting my charts to get them ready for my attempt!
