My first finish of the year. The new hat is done.

I just love it, it's so nice and cosy, the perfect way to keep me warm during this cold snap we're having.

I couldn't quite get the hang of trying to get a photo of me but you get the idea. If I remember I'll get Mark to snap a proper shot later ......
Even though I found the knitting tough going on my hands for some reason I'm tempted to get some more yarn to make the funky wrist warmers from the same book shown in this picture
