FO: Norie Hat

I've had this finished up for a while, but I needed some photos to post.  This is my handspun Norie hat from the 2IBH SAL/KAL for this late fall. 

The original roving was in the "Cries of Witchcraft" colorway on Finn.  I spun this up into a 2-ply yarn, slightly heavier than the DK for the pattern, but I think it worked out fine - it's nice and warm!

The only modification to the pattern I used was to work only 3 of the 4 cat's paw lace sections, but I think it's plenty slouchy even without that final repeat.  It goes great with the purple fleece and blue fleece jackets I own, plus the dark chocolate dressier coat I wear when I'm not doing outdoor chore kind of things. 

All for now....

Mmmm. Warm. Does it really stay on?

Lovely and great that it goes with several jackets/coats. A definite plus. I noticed on Rav that many took out a lace section without ill-effect. The thicker weight will be nice a warm.

Good choice on skipping one lace repeat - it looks perfectly fine at that size.

Cute, and sure does look plenty long and slouchy. Bonus that it goes with all the jackets!
