new pattern approaches

hiya folks! I have some rather exciting (I think) news...I've been working on a new hat pattern in the lovely JA Textiles Knit by Numbers merino. The pattern is almost ready to be released, just a few little tweaks and couple more photos and it'll be there! I have a lovely group of test knitters hard at work as well, and can't wait to see their creations as they pop up on Ravelry.

 It's a very simple hat, with an easily memorized textured stitch pattern, hidden contrast colour in the brim and one more little pop of colour on top - a pom pom! The pattern should be all ready for knitting before April rolls around, so stay tuned.

 I'm currently knitting up my third! The troubling thing is that once I start dreaming up colour combinations, I can't really stop myself...wonder how may hats I'll knit before I'm satisfied? I think everyone knows what they're getting for Christmas this year, just hope you like pom poms!

UPDATE: the pattern will be available by April 2013. You can find it on Ravelry here.
