It's Tweed. It's Felted
You know sometimes when you see a gorgeous knitted piece from a magazine, you wanted to make it so bad, but in the same time you just not so sure if it's going to work out right, or turned out the way you wanted it. You poke around the web, google it, hoping you can find the exact same thing. Well, this project is just the perfect example. I was not 100% convinced until I finally saw the finished piece during my last visit to Portland. I spotted her immediately when I walked into the store. There she was sitting quietly at her little corner surrounded by many gorgeous yarn. She's green and most likely made from lambs Pride bulky. She was not the talk about item among patrons and of course no one knew I was thrilled to have found her in person. So here you go...after 4+ hours of knitting, 2 movies,an hour of hand felting at my bathroom sink. Let me present to you the first FO of the brand spanking new year.
Pattern : Brooklyn Cap from IK Summer 06
Yarn : 2 balls of Lana Grosa Royal Tweed
Needle : US11 bamboo circular/dpns
Cost for this project: $18

It's funny - I saw a girl wearing something like this today and thought that I'd like to make that! Beautiful job! Now I really want to knit that!
Wow, the hat is wonderful!! I was wanting to make it and have seen it made up a few times, but never thought to make it in TWEED!! Great Job, Love it
Tweed: perfect and tres, tres chic.
How are you going with that "swing thing"? I'm about to throw it out the window!
that's adorable! I'd love to see it on...any chance we'll get a modeled shot?
It's so pretty, great job!
And well worth the anticipation I'm sure. That's a gorgeous hat and it turned out beautifully! Congrats!
I loooove it! I wanna see it on!
Well done. Very cool :-)
you know, that cap didn't do anything for me in the magazine -- something about the weird side view -- but yours is so fetching! perfectly felted.
Hmm, this is really very pretty, and sophisticated.
How funny! I was just flipping through the summer IK this weekend ans decided that I wanted to make that. Maybe we'll be twins. How does it fit?
Adorable! I'm happy to see someone made one of these. I wondered if it would come out cuter than the magazine version, and your's certainly did. Thanks for the inspiration!
Lovely, and very chic! In addition to looking fabulous, does it also fit well?
That hat is gorgeous! The picture in the magazine didn't really do anything for me, but yours is lovely!
This is very pretty! I just can't agree more with Carrie. Yours is way better looking than the IK version. Loved it!
Wow, great job! It's definitely more beautiful than the IK one. Just love it!!
It`s a beautiful hat. The yarn of Lana Grossa Royal Tweed is a very lovely yarn and your picture is looking fabulous!!
Best wishes and happy knitting!!
very cute! I'd love to see it on you :-)
cute!
WOW!! - I came to visit from "Tweeding Along" and have been here for a long while looking at all of your beautiful knitting. Your Gallery is phenomenal!
It's lovely. How does it look when you're wearing it?
Your hat is so cute! Now I have to dig out my copy of that magazine.
Beauteous!
Yours is so chic! The color stands out. I'll bet you get lots of compliments when you wear this one out. Don't you love hats? I've just finished a beret and I'm going to start on a cloche soon.
Such a charming hat! Nice way to start the New Year with a successful FO!
wow...that's really a pretty hat that you had made. I like it alot.
I agree with Steph: I would like to see you wearing it, if you don't mind. Congratulations, I like your hat much more than the one in the magazine.
fantastic! I would like to add my vote for a modeling shot please! :)
It's a really cute cap, nice color too. All your 2006 projects are beautiful!
The cap is gorgeous! It looks even better than in the magazine :) And your 2006 FOs are just amazing..
I just love it...gotta check that one out for sure..
(((hugs)))
I agree, it looks much better than the one in the magazine. It's very pretty!
Neato hat! You should model it for us. I bet you look swell in it!
Love the tweedy. Very chic.
very cute and 20's chic!
Wow girl you're fast! It's super cute, no modelled shot? I'd love to see how it looks on you ;)
I love this hat. I'd been looking for brimmed knit caps and you've obviously made the perfect one.
That looks great...would love to see it on..
