Cast Off | The Baa-ble Hat Complete

Autumn abandoned us a little while back, but returned over a week ago with surprising chilliness. As the cool weather came out of nowhere I inevitably caught a chest cold, which has dominated most of the week. I'm on the mend now, however, and at the beginning of my illness when I still had some energy, I got out my knitting and polished off the last of my Baa-ble Hat. It was a very quick and easy knit, my slowness in completing it was only due to the weather.


Now it's finished I've been a little lost as to what to cast on next, but that's been a good thing as it's led to knitting up some baby items for a collaboration with a new online handmade boutique. I used to sell my knitted items full time, but gave it up a few years ago as it just took up too much time and I never had the joy of knitting for myself. I've no intention of going back to that, but baby knits are something I do enjoy creating so making a couple as I please will be lovely. (One of the items is woollen Pixie Bonnets. The pattern is available in my Ravelry store if you'd like to knit one too!)

Anyway, back to the Baa-ble Hat. I'm super glad this warm and cuddly beanie is ready in time for the arrival of winter. I'm really happy with all those sheep marching around the edge. I think I may need to make another one in different colours, it was so much fun.
The pattern was incredibly simple and easy, without one single hiccup along the way. Just what every knitter wants.

What have you been making lately?
Has the weather caught you unawares?
Happy weekend!
