One hat done, if it fits

I knit the handspun hat last night. Clark graciously agreed to model it for you all.

It’s just merino wool and silk, but it looks like there’s angora rabbit in there, with the soft halo. You can see it in the pictures. It’s a nice effect, though unintentional.

I’m not going to weave in the tail ’til my mother-in-law tries it on to make sure it fits. It might be too tall for her.

I have two more hats waiting to be knit, and we’ve just barely started the blanket (Cascade 220). I have the middle square done but every time I go to start the next color, Max cries or Clark needs help in the bathroom.
