Hat pic

I finished this so quickly because I worked on it almost compulsively.  I don't know why. I just couldn't seem to put it down.  There's really something strangely addictive about plain knitting sometimes.  And I enjoyed watching the different colors in the Noro emerge.  It was a little sad that not all the colors in the skein ended up in the hat, but I will try to use the rest for something else.



My jogless jog is a little untidy, and I ended up with ladders in the decrease columns and in the color change column; with the color changes I guess I just didn't secure the yarns well enough when switching.  Who knows why my decreases get ladder-y.

My man is very pleased with it.  The only drawback is that he won't be able to wear it until autumn.
