Warm hats

Last year I must have lost my mind.  I knit three afghans, not baby afghans, but full sized afghans.  So this year my sanity must have returned, because I am enjoying less monumental projects.  Hats are one of those things that I am drawn to knit. I love keeping my head warm on cold days.  I suffer from the occasional migraine, and I think cold may be one of my triggers.  The latest hat I knit was Lorna Miser's Quilted Columns Hat. I used some Malabrigo Rios yarn.  It's a wonderful tonal dyed worsted weight Merino wool. 

I knit this up in a couple hours while at the Mountain Hollow Farm yarn retreat.  This one is for my daughter. She loves all things blue.
