Odessa
Take a gander at my recently finished Odessa hat carefully and creatively designed by Ms. Grumperina.
Love it! Instead of using Rowan Cashsoft DK, I opted for Kraemer Tatamy Tweed in Oatmeal with bronze beads. So rustic! Gratuitous detail shot:
And how does it look on? Friggin' adorable!
Thanks Kathy for another excellent pattern!
I'm also making progress on the cowl (also being made in Kraemer Tatamy Tweed). I added some waist shaping and am now down to the ribbing.
Kathy's design is just fabulous, I need to knit myself one. Problem is, I've no idea how to select the beads.

Great hat! You certainly knit that up quickly (or, I'm guessing, you got a sneak peak at the pattern). the cowl is looking great too.

Those beads are PERFECT for the yarn. Great job!

Very cute, and quite a different look than the smooth Cashsoft.

...and what of those lonely afghan squares? I think you have the right idea with the smaller quick projects to ease the pain of chore knitting.

I followed the link from grumperina (lovely Odessa, by the way) and saw that you were using Kraemer Tatamy tweed. Are you a local? I've been wanting to make a sweater with this yarn, how do you like it?
