Another finished project

Two in one week? Holy cow! I'm on a roll!

This is the Slip-a-Color hat from Knit Hats! (edited by Gwen Steege). It's the first thing I've made with my new Denise needles (which are fabulous), and it was remarkably easy. I used four different colors of Lamb's Pride worsted, and the color change within each row is achieved by slipping stitches. This pattern was so easy that I was actually able to knit and watch Buffy the Vampire Slayer without messing up the pattern.

This hat (and another that I've just started) are gifts for two friends who will be visiting in two weeks. They live in eastern Washington, which can get pretty cold, and they are both fun-loving happy people. So I hope these funky-colored hats will keep them nice and toasty during the winter.
