hugh_mannity( I finished this Fish Hat yesterday )
The pattern is from Knitty
The colours are those of the Northern Army of the SCA and the eyes are the Northern Army emblem sewn onto white felt. It's a gift for the 2-yo daughter of some friends of mine -- the dad is a member of the Northern Army and the daughter already has a Northern Army blanket and a battleaxe -- both crocheted by a mutual friend.
I used Lion Brand Vanna's Choice yarn for this as the mom has a wool allergy. And toddler stuff needs to be machine washable.
I'm very happy with the way it came out. So are some of my friends -- I posted it to FB and have had two requests to knit it. The first will be in burgundy and gold -- the SCA arms colours of the recipient. The other one will be pretty random. Both of them will be in my go-to yarn: Cascade 220 as I have a lot of it.
( I also finished a hat for myself over the weekend )
