Blogipostiumus!
Ack. Sorry, Ravenclaws, I've been working like a house-elf on end-of-year stuff for my Muggle school. The hats pictured here are the garments with which i set free three of my senior house-elves, the three editors on the yearbook staff.
All are variations on the Basic Cable hat from Stitch'n'Bitch Nation, which I've now made about eight times, I think...great basic beanie. Of course I'm not happy with the plain rope cable any more, though, so all three were tweaked to my heart's desire.
From left to right:
1. Husky purple for my managing editor #1, attending UW this fall in Seattle...6-stitch silver dollar cable.
2: Charcoal grey, or "east coast grey" as I think of it, since here in the Northwest we're all about the earth tones--for managing editor #2, attending Northeastern in Boston this fall...I call this one the "brain wave" because i did a rope cable alternating L and R crosses so it didn't twist but waved.
3: Leaf green for my editor-in-chief, attending Journalism school (yay!) at Northwestern this fall in Chicago...This one had the most tweaks, because it was a 9-stitch braided cable. I wrote up the pattern for this one and I'll post it soon. I love how it turned out!
Oh, and all 3 were in Patons Classic Wool...Purple, Charcoal, and Leaf, I believe. Size 7s for the ribbing and 8 for the cabled portion.

Isn't Pattons Classic Wool the best?
Nice braided cable! If you write it up, I might have to borrow it for a HalloWig :)
LOVE those hats!! Lucky little Muggles. ;o)
You have got to be the coolest teacher!! Very sweet and thoughtful!!
Fabulous hats! The elves will be pleased.
And wine is SUCH an essential! :) We let that one slide under the "food" rule as not buying anything new AND not getting wine would possibly lead to divorce....:)
If you're ever in Boise, bring those sleeves! I'll probably STILL be working on that darn shawl!!!!! :)
