Star Anise Hat, and the First Nice Day!!
ByToday was gorgeous. A perfect day for a Queen West march and photos of my latest FO – the Star Anise hat by Alice Twain. A completely selfish, instant gratification knit, I whipped this one out in 2 days. I love the way she designed it, and while I didn’t bother with the tubular cast on, and I worked with 3.25mm needles throughout, I can say that the pattern was perfect with no other mods and I love the fit!

The best way to block a hat!
I love that you can see Tito taking the picture in the restaurant window.
It’s all melting… and while I know we will see snow again before Easter, I still love it.

Nice hat. Looks good on you & I love the double picture. When you’re blocking your hats on balloons, make sure you blow the balloon up just a bit less than your head size so that the hat fits snugly.

It is a great hat! The pattern is so pretty! I laughed at your smiley face balloon! It’s all melting here too! High of 14C for Saturday – then 2C on Sunday and snow. Of course!
