Skull hats have been popping up a lot on knitting paradise,so i decided to have a go,the first one followed the pattern,2x2 rib,and ended up 7" long,more a cap,the skull is a 15 row easy to follow pattern,my only problem was finishing the hat off with dpns,but i did it.
The 2nd hat is more of a beanie,i added to the rib and a few extra rows,did the rib 1x1 much neater,used pu
re wool from spotlight,very enjoyable and makes you feel clever as well.

Just added to my stash
A couple of pics of yarn that arrived in the mail,the first 4 balls of purple merino,these were a deal from craftsy.com,usually by the time i get the email the deal is over,time difference USA and AUS,but i snapped up these for $13.95.
The next yarn i bought for about $4 a ball from Deramores in the UK,there postage to oz is great,$5.06 for 6 balls,its to make a ribbed shrug and here is a pic of how it knits up in 2x2 rib.
The last,Lion brand AMAZING,i found a scarf i liked that used this and wanted to make a present,the company is Yarn Over in australia,formerly american yarn company.
As the hot weather has hit here now and my hands are running sweat,knitting might slow down.
