I was just thinking,
if it is really religion with these nudist colonies,
they sure must turn atheists in the wintertime.
[Will Rogers]
I purchased a couple of pounds of fine Leicester wool when I was at Noah’s Landing in Ohio. My daughter spun it into yarn and encouraged me to knit it for our little Owain. Here is the winter hat. If you are interested in knitting this pattern, I’ve made a PDF version that you can print at no charge. Select this LINK to download the pattern.
Knitting, writing and other joys 
Just stumbled into your blog today… Love Owain’s Hat and am looking forward to using your easy to follow pattern as as my first project for stranded knitting. Thank you.
I have to look at your blog each day, there are always such lovely things here.
love Pat
Katherine….your hat is beautiful, surpassed only by the beauty of that face beneath it!!
I so much enjoy spending time at your site. Your patterns are gorgeous, your workmanship is impeccable, and your writing is such a joy to read. I consider it a gift to have been led to your site by Marilyn B. Wonderful, wonderful blog!
Thank you!
