A Finished Object (Finally)

Here it is, The Fountain Hat, aka my best hat yet. I don't have much luck with hats, the sizing is always off or a stripe is totally misplaced, but this pattern was great. It was extremely easy to follow and was a pretty quick knit. The pattern called for ShiBui sock yarn, which my LYS does not stock so I opted for Koigu partly because I love it and also the colorway was perfect for the recipient of this hat. The lace pattern gets a little lost in the color variations, but it is such lovely yarn that I don't mind.
