I only have one finish this week for Yarn Along. Too see what everyone else has been up too, click on the icon above. I completed my knitted hat for myself:
I used Martha Stewart Alpaca blend yarn I picked up a couple of years ago in Michael's. I would make the body of this hat a couple of inches longer as I prefer to turn up my rim like in the photo below.
I am still plowing along with the baby blanket:
and reading this book:
Also spent a few hours at The Knitting Basket on Tuesday with Angie and the gang.
Helped her get her next blog post out, you can read it here

I love the combination of colours in your hat; it strikes me as very 1930's!
Double knit murders! How funny. I wonder if they're on Kindle.
I agree with Jacquelineand. The colours in your hat are lovely. I prefer a longer hat too.
Good stuff! Your knitting looks great.
The alpaca yarn will keep your head warm and cozy!
Love the hat and the colour combination is a real delight.
Love the hat. Debbie mac ombré has some great books I am sure you would enjoy with a knitting store in them
Love you hat colours! :) The pink is so summery. Happy knitting!
Lovely hat.
Kind of in awe of your knitting! LOVE the hat! I am not a hat person, but I would wear that one.
I can only crochet though, but thinking of starting to crochet at night (to keep myself from snacking) to make the 100 hats for Hats off to Cancer kids. I kind of promised myself I would do that. Now is the time to get started I think! LOL
Cute hat. Make sure you put it somewhere safe so you can find it when it's cold again! : )
That book is hilarious! I suppose that when you have two sharp needles, a death is rather inevitable. The hats and blanket look brilliant - well done!
You sure you're not just spinning us a yarn? sorry, couldn't resist. You are really making progress with your knitting!
Nice knitting! Yours doesn't look like mine (all cattywhampus!)
I like the colours of the blanket.
Nice hat! I like the colors you chose. I've read both of those books as well as others by Maggie Sefton. I really enjoy them and hope you do too.
The blanket is coming along nicely isn't it?
Blessings,
Betsy
I love your hat colors too!
I love the colour combos! I'll be showing off a sofa blanket soon, a gift for a niece.
Knitting is fun !!

I am still loving the colors, too. Is the book good...it must be or you would not keep reading it.
Love the colors of your hat! And it looks incredibly soft!
Lovely hat, the colours remind me of robins!
