I don’t normally show off things “in progress”, but our Sockhead Slouch Hat is knitting up sooooo beautifully that I thought you might enjoy a little back to school show-n-tell. The yarn is Malabrigo Mechita (colour 890 Mandragora). I knew it would knit up pretty, but it’s turning out absolutely RADIANT (my underachieving photography skills don’t do it justice).
