Moss Landing Hat - Pattern #1

So excitement has reached fever pitch in Happy Knitter's life. Yes, ok maybe that is a slight exaggeration but I'm about to start the 1st pattern in my epic book knit.

Just incase you missed it, the idea is I'm going to knit the whole book (sock yarn, One-Skein Wonders) starting at pattern #1 right through to pattern #101.

I must admit I'm concerned about only one pattern, the umberella lampshade (mainly cause its gawd awful) and from reading the instructions you need a degree in engineering to construct it once the knitting is done. However if your going to knit a book you can't pick and choose but no-body said you can't modify, did they?

The yarn chosen from my stash for the 1st project is a blue/purple blend. It was going to be a sock but as it had been hibernating since last July and the pattern wasn't biting me on the bum decided to utilise the yarn on this instead and the sock is frogged.

To be continued .....
