March 3, 2006 Sparkle hat

Between my two socks for sockapaloooza I needed a little instant gratification project. A friend has a birthday coming up and I want to make her a knitted gift. She's into funky hats so I decided to make the Sparkle Hat from Stitch N Bitch. I had a little trouble finding paillettes with large enough holes for the yarn so I bought some with smaller holes and had my trusty assistant punch holes for me. He's so useful! I'm using the yarn recommended with the pattern- Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Bulky- which I love. I'm using 1/2 the recommended amount of spangles- 45 instead of 90. I think with my leftover spangles I might make a hat for myself.
