Progress! Finished hat for me (no. 3 on the priority list)

I love chunky knitting. It's taken me just over an hour to make and finish a chunky hat for me :o)

DSCF0252

I've made it in Sirdar Bigga, using a pattern I've knit before. I've also made it in green...as I thought it would be a good contrast to my dark purple coat. I'm not used to wearing coloured hats - I'm a black hat kind of person, that's if I wear a hat at all. Where does my common sense/normal taste go when I knit myself something like this... I hope I'm going to wear it!

Sirdar - Bigga - Chamois - 686

I love this wool…not so keen on the colour though. I’ve got so much of this wool in various colours for various projects (mainly chunky hats and scarves for relatives…but don’t tell them). I initially bought some of this to make a peg bag for myself, and it all worked out really well - especially considering that I made the pattern up as I went along! Last week my Mam mentioned needing a peg bag - so I got some more of this as it’s **really** cheap at Kemps.

Quantity: 2 x 100g
Bought: Kemps Wool Shop
Price: £0.59 each (absolute bargain!)
