Notes
First time I've tried knitting with a colour in each hand. Not going too badly, but tension is a bit unreliable. Biggest problem seems to be controlling the stitches on the right-hand needle. Lovely to be working in multiple colours, though.
Found top part difficult - using double-pointed knitting needles, but end result is worth it. Blocking really made the stitches look much more even.
Hat is a bit too big, and I wish I'd done one less repeat for the height, but I love the colours, and the Jamieson and Smith wool feels gorgeous, particularly once washed.
Daniel has happily taken over this hat and wears it around the house!
