Another one.
Size 10.5US needles, Araucania Nature Wool Chunky. I only did two cable repeats, so it wouldn't be too wide. This is actually done and blocking right now -- the wool grew a *lot* when I blocked it. I really love this pattern

IHS hat
Here is my first hat using the IHS pattern.
I took the original IHS pattern and modified it to make only it two cables wide. Then I sewed it up to make the band and picked up stitches on one side for the top of the hat. 3 rows in between the decreases to make it pointed. It came out great and is going to be for my Niece. The yarn is 100 % wool and was purchased at a Reny's for only 99cents!

My First Completed IHS
Yarn: Lion Cashmere Blend
Needles: size 8 bamboo dpns and cable needle
I finished my first IHS over a month ago and have finally gotten around to taking pictures and posting it. It ended up about an inch or two shorter than the pattern because I ran out of yarn, but I'm happy enough with the length. The only thing I did differently from the pattern was that I ended on a row earlier than 7, maybe 4 or 5, so that the edge I finished on looked more similar to the beginning edge.

I really enjoyed this project. It went quickly and the pattern turned out nicely with the cashmere blend yarn. It's extremely soft and warm, and I can't wait to wear it this winter.

My First Cabling Project - IHS scarf
The yarn was Patons Classic in black. The scarf was much softened after an Eucalan wash. I gave this to Dad as a Father's Day gift!!
