F.O. Friday – Heart Hat
Over the weekend, I was really under the weather. I basically stayed in bed all day Saturday until at some point I got bored. I decided to pick up the beautiful Shetland yarn I won from the Chopped Tomatoes giveaway. I had just posted my interview with Machelle Salmeen, the creative force behind Chopped Tomatoes, so the yarn was calling out to me.
Using the yarn, I worked up this hat with a heart shaped out of bobbles. Then on Sunday, I took a short walk over to Riverside Park to take some pictures. You know that feeling when you are still sick and even a block or two makes you feel unsteady on your feet and like you need to sleep for a few hours? That’s the feeling I had taking these pictures 
.
You can see the heart shape best in this picture.
I love this yarn!
I am not too sure that I love the final hat, but it definitely was a good project to keep me from getting cabin fever while I was sick.
Did you finish anything this week? Check out Tami’s Amis for links to many other Finished Object Friday posts.
By the way, you still have time to enter my giveaway for a Fall, 2011 PDF issue of KnitCircus in this post. And don’t forget that the magazine is hosting quite a few giveaways during the next few weeks on their blog, their Facebook page, and their Ravelry group.
So cute and glad you’re feeling better.
Very cute hat – I love the color. Glad you are feeling better too!
Good to hear you are feeling better.
I love the colour of your hat and the heart really looks so cool.
@ Keri, Sharon (witchyknits), and RugbyMad: Thanks so much for the kind words and well wishes. It is no fun to be sick! I do love the colors of the yarn – I can’t believe I was lucky enough to win this beautiful skein for free from Chopped Tomatoes!
Oooh, pretty colorway, and the hat is a great way to show it off. It can be your feeling-better hat.
Thanks Pentalia! Looks like I’ll be spending another weekend indoors since Hurricane Irene is raining away outside.
I LOVE bobbles and the hat is adorable! I received the amazing book in the mail today. THANK you for the giveaway contest. I never win anything!
I think the mail sorters were as excited by the envelope as I was because the whole end of the envelope was torn open. 
[ The book was still in wonderful shape, though.
I’m so sorry you have been feeling poorly. Hope you are feeling fabbo now!
Keri/KinnicChick (amazed to see another Keri in the yarny blog world!)
Yay, I’m so glad it made it safely Keri. Thanks for your compliments on my hat. Considering that I was practically delirious making it, I’m pretty happy with how it turned out.
