I wanted something warm and cozy to wear with my black leather jacket. So when I went to a sale at Mass Ave Knit Shop, I snapped up a bunch of Lana Grossa Joker (a nice, soft, hard-wearing superwash wool) in a beautiful dark red.
My ears get cold (or did, until I moved to California), but I hate tight winter hats. Aibhlinn was the way to go.
Other than switching to wool from cotton and not bothering to make a gauge swatch, I didn't alter the pattern at all. It was a fun, easy knit -- very soothing in what was a very stressful time.
And it's lovely. And very cozy. I like the cute little bobbles.
And now that I live in California, I wonder if it is ever going to be cold enough to wear it. Maybe I'll have to make a second one in cotton.
