The Irish hiking hat is finished except for the fleece lining that I need to sew in. It’s a little lumpy over the crown and blocking hasn’t seemed to help, but perhaps the lining will improve it.

I’ve finished the first of two fingerless gloves using a nifty pattern from Carol Naimath called “Fetching“. I’m doing them in Filatura di Crosa’s Zara extrafine merino wool which is fabulous to work with. Glove number two should be done in a couple of days.

Next up is a pair of socks in Austermann Step.
