practice hat

I decided to make a practice hat when I received my first Addi Turbos and hank of yarn in the mail. So I got some of my extra orange yarn and tried out the basics of a hat. I had never used circular needles or decreased (well, on purpose) before so I wanted to try it out on something I didn't care if I messed up.


So here is the first practice hat. i want to make it clear that while a bear is wearing the hat, the hat is not intended to be a bear hat. I am not making clothes for my teddies.


Here is the "hat" after I felted it. This is actually the first thing I have felted! I felted it in the sink last night. It is a good way to attempt to clean out your sinuses with steam. Now it is a bowl that I keep my stich markers (thanks Sean) and needles in (thanks Susan).

So there you have it, my first non-scarf project that is completed! It is just a little silly.
