As you can see, it's in skein and cake form. I love this colorway as it reminds me of Macintosh apples...and I love them. I only wished it had more of the green in it! I first saw this colorway at LadyLungdoc's blog and I wasn't sure it was the same one, but I got it anyways! (side note, we both had the same lovely Yarnit for CASP's! :)
What's this below...well a real outdoor picture of the colorway knitted up...seed stitch even...
It's Le' Slouch from Knit and Tonic! I love the swirly action on the ribbing. EEK, just noticed the hole in the top...that'll be a quick fix! You can see how the difference in lighting makes the colors look.
I chose to do the seed stitch pattern and it was pretty easy to do! About 1/2 way through it was much better to knit after I got US 9 x 16" gray Inox circs to do it! (Thank you Weaving Works! more on that later!) I didn't enjoy knitting it on dpns...sometimes I'm weird that way! ;)
Please excuse the no make-up, recovering from jetlag and time change look!
Non-Slouch???? Well as you can see, it doesn't slouch as much as Wendy's does, but I do like it and will wear it. I started this a few days before I left for Seattle, thinking I'd need and finish it in time! Here I go thinking I am a super, speedy fast knitter!
Heh! Finished it on the plane returning home Wednesday! I did knit it to the length suggested in the pattern, but I do knit tight and no I didn't do a gauge swatch....it's a hat people! Those who know I hate doing them, and since it wasn't Fair Isle or a more intricate type pattern I resisted. I figured if I hated it, or it didn't fit, I'd give it away or frog it! DD hated it, but it looked so cute on her.
This is what is leftover and I do have another skein of it too! Well, that skein does have 2" of a neckwarmer knit, which will be promptly frogged when it gets here...yeah, overpacking me had to send a box home. And no, not full of yarn LOL, I wish!
Seattle was fun and more on that another day...now to get back to EST only to have to Spring ahead this weekend! Will be catching up on all of you too! :) So much happens when I'm gone..
Also since I've been gone, my friend Heather from All Things Heather is doing a fundraiser for her daughter's sister school in Africa to buy books. Well, since I've not been able to post about it, she's raised over $2,000 and will be also donating books to local Literacy campaigns in her area. If you can, go donate either way you can! Thanks!

Oh so pretty!!! Malabrigo is one yarn I still haven't been able to find in any of my LYS. I'll have to journey to a not-so-L one and snap some up!!

Cute hat! I like that you did the seed stitch as I think it looks best this way. One of these days Malabrigo yarn will be in my stash.
Welcome back! I have a skein of Malagrigo that I need to knit up and you just gave me a great idea to steal!
(don't tell, but I like YOUR version better!)

Z, you had at least a few good days of weather up in Seattle...I was able to mow the lawn on Tuesday with that 67+ degree weather we had.
Bet it is nice to be home though...happy weekend to you.
Nice malabrigooooooooooo.
I like your hat. Who cares if it's not slouchy enough. You can roll it up and make a beanie! ;D
