OK, so there's no trick. But I've started a hat. I chose the South End Knitter's Hat pattern. It's a nice cabled-and-ribbed one, and it's knit long and with the cables on the inside. That way, you can fold up the bottom so that there's an extra layer of warmth. Nice! I'm using stashed Lamb's Pride, left over from the still-unzippered Samus cardi I made lo, these many years ago. I was going to use the Nuna (that's the merino/silk/bamboo blend) I had, but when I realized that 1) it was sport weight, not worsted, and 2) it didn't actually include alpaca as I thought it did, I decided it wouldn't be quite warm enough if a wind happened to blow. Also, the red is a color I'm more likely to want to wear frequently. I'll find something to do with that pretty Nuna, though. Maybe a lace scarf?
I started the hat on Friday night. I'm making good progress on it. With luck, it'll be finished before the end of the week. I'll post pics when I have 'em!
