The last of my Christmas knitting projects is on the needles (and the other three are off and blocked). Inspired by Rigatoni’s 52 Weeks, 52 Hats finale, I chose the Simple Pleasures hat. With all the excitement around my house lately, I definitely needed something simple. A little Malabrigo and a classy hat pattern are just the thing.
I started the project on an airplane (I’m starting a new job next month, and we had to fly out to look for housing). In between touring houses, potential daycares, and meeting with future colleagues, I worked on the hat a little more here.
Sidenote: If you’re visiting the Raleigh-Durham area and are looking for a centrally-located-but-quiet place to stay, Carol’s Garden Inn is great.
I made it through the ribbing, and started the top portion on the flight home. And the color is pretty true in this photo, even with the flash. The Malabrigo is just luscious.
