Starrrrted Me Hat

This is my first real fair isle type project. I think I'm getting better with the tension of the "strands" the more I work. My sister said the skulls look like pumpkins. Evil pirate pumpkins, she means! Anyhow, I guess the orange could give one that impression...
Well, I like pumpkins too.

Yarrrn fer Me New Hat

I'm making the We Call Them Pirates Hat with these lovelies. I will use the green/blue/taupe for the background and the orange for the skulls. This is Peru DK Luxury , an Alpaca/Silk/ Merino blend. I hand painted the greenish one to make it a little more interesting. This is not helping with my sock issues, but I really love it and there's a Knit Along too. There is an "end date" of March 15th. Then I have the rest of the year for socks!!!
