marker reached!

Okay I have reached a split time point on my hat. I have finished the 8 inches of 2K, 2P for the brim. Now I'm starting the chevron pattern for the hat.

Go me!

Ravelympics are go!

I would like to try and make two of these over the Ravelympics. I'll see how the first one works out.
Just doing a catch up as I'll be blogging about my progress on the hats.
