Funny joke, past me.

Did I say "once I hit the placket?" Because what I really meant was "right now." and when I said "chullo," I meant "one really bizarre and questionable tam, and one (hopefully totally adorable) tam with elephants on it for my sister."

On that note, I started the questionable one last night, and it looks like this:


It is from a lot of stash yarn - I think the black is Rowan Felted Tweed i meant to knit a hat for my dad out of last year or so, and the green and blue are Valley Yarns Amherst, and the pink is Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran. I love stash adventures.

I got the yarn for the second one today, and immediately cast on (well, I'm in the process of casting on.)
It's Noro Silk Garden and Valley Yarns Sheffield. I've never used Silk Garden before, though on principle I love all things Noro, and let me just say: it is SO SOFT. I cannot believe that I get to knit something that looks like Noro (only maybe even a little classier) but that is also so soft I just want to swallow the stuff instead of knitting with it. ...is that weird?

So I'm still working on Thermal, don't think I'm not. I'm just also taking sanity breaks, and my sanity breaks are expressed with the instant gratification of fair isle hats. Specifically, tams. Apparently.
