Pretty, but I can't seem to get it right. This is the tam from Twilley's of Stamford Book 455, made from the real deal, Twilley's Freedom Spirit yarn. The first one I made was too small. The second, from a heavier yarn was too big. I figured this one, with the number of stitches adjusted, would be just right. Wrong. Too large once again. Two choices: five minutes of felting or a gift for someone with a large hat size. Any opinions?
Vancouver, this winter, has spent a significant amount of time with a temperature inversion. This means that the temperature is warmer, and the skies are clearer at higher altitudes. This cap of warm air holds down a blanket of cold fog at sea level. Vancouver, with locations both high and low, looked like this:
It really looked like that. It was particularly magical at night with different coloured lights from below glowing through the fog, while at the same time the snow banks next to us sparkled like they were scattered with diamonds. I didn't have a camera with me so it will have to stay a picture in my head. The only bad thing about that is that I can't show it to you.
