Slouchy Hat

What a horrible day today, very misty and damp. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to.... crochet. Not that I really need an excuse.

I decided my next project is going to be a hat for myself, I'm not really a hat person, my hair is thick and hats just don't seem to stay on my head. However, I have been in my allotment digging over my raised beds, generally tidying and repairing things over the last week and it's been a little bit cold and I came to the conclusion that I really needed a hat. I found a nice pattern for a slouchy hat and I thought I would give it a go. I had already decided I wanted to use a soft Merino wool and the rim of the hat would be in Slate Grey as I still had some of the yarn left. I was at a bit of a loss as to what other colour to choose, when I remembered I had bought a ball of Peter Pan Merino Baby Wool in a beautiful blue colour. However, I really did not think I would have enough so I ventured to my local wool shop in Ulverston called Loopy and spoke to the owner Andrea, she kindly searched around and found me a ball. So, this afternoon I will be watching old Vincent Price and Peter Cushing films with my dog Tilly laying across my feet, or should I say squashing my feet while I crochet my hat.
