What the fat needles hath wrought

This turned out better than I anticipated.  It took about two hours to make on size 13 dpns and a circ.

I hope I can wrest it from Ted.

The pattern is "Handpaint Hat," by Linda Daniels, of Northampton Wools.  I found it in Knit Hats! Fifteen Cool Patterns to Keep You Warm, Gwen Steege, ed. (Storey Publishing, 2002).
