Seeing as David is such an awesome husband, and he hasn’t had a new knit in a while, and<\/em> he wore Em’s Selbu Modern with such aplomb<\/a>, he deserves a new colourwork hat of his own.
\nLast week the new Knitty came out, and while not much of it grabbed me, I liked Urbanista<\/a> straight away. So I didn’t waste any time, I went to Spotlight on Wednesday and dug through the mess that they call the yarn aisle and came up with three acceptable colours.

\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nIt’s just Spotlight’s own brand of 8ply (DK), but it’s 100% wool, and not bad, especially seeing as it’s only about $3 a ball. Of course, you have to deal with Spotlight to get it. For those of you who are not familiar with Spotlight, it’s not unlike Michaels. Or Hobby Lobby. I can’t remember which one it was that Jill took me to. It may even have been JoAnn’s. At any rate, it’s a craft store which generally sells all sorts of stuff, including lots of crap yarn, and the occasional good one. And every outlet I’ve ever been in is a mess. Stock in the aisles, bins full of all sorts of paraphenalia, no price tags, stuff put away in the wrong spot. You get the idea.
\nAnyway, I got the yarn, he likes the colours, so I’ve cast on.
\nThis is the right side. (apologies for the blur)
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nBut I think I like the “wrong” side better.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nAnd I remember why I’m not a huge fan of intarsia.
\n
\"\"<\/a><\/center>
\nThankfully, it’s only a hat!
\nAnd another bear.

\nThis one is a “floppy” one. She has special joints so that her arms, legs and head flop about!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
