For Double Gold-A Hat To Match!
With the extra yarn that I’d spun, I decided to create a hat based on the charts and patterning in the Ceilidh mittens published yesterday. This could bring me a double gold medal in the Ravelympics/knitting Olympics. I’m up for the challenge.
This much of the hat was knit through a fabulous evening of improvisational theatre. I have been a fan of the highschool improv since I was first introduced to it about 5 years ago. If you’ve never been to an improv event before, you should check it out! Here’s the national link, and the local link too.
It is great to see these teenagers working together, trusting each other, taking risks, and producing some moving, some hilarious, and some very interesting pieces of spontaneous theatre. Audience participation is encouraged, and it’s the audience suggestions that form the backbone of the sketches performed.
I was inspired by them to improvise a little on this hat design. Fingers crossed it works out!
This lovely celtic inspired hat is looking for a name! Any ideas?
