Brr….it’s cold! The Missoulian said it was -9 degrees this morning! I think the high was about 5 degrees which is less than what the temperature was when we came back from Costco last night. I don’t know what it was with the wind chill, but my hands were numb in about 30 seconds.

Before Christmas I never had time to knit hats and now with this super cold weather I’m trying to turn them out as quick as possible. Here’s my finished Koolhaas:

It seemed like Koolhaas took a while to knit, largely due to the 2 difficult cable rows that are in each 8 row pattern repeat. It was worth it even if those rows took forever to knit! I considered cabling without a cable needle (on the easy cable row I did), but I was using my despised Clover Palace circular’s and the cable on these needles is always trying to curl up, pulling on the yarn. The yarn is Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Worsted in Periwinkle.

And now I’ve started a Seaman’s Cap in WEBS Northampton ‘Chocolate’. I hope Richard will wear this one, but if he doesn’t I will.
