Not Princess A but it is her hat

I put the final touches on the hat I made for Princess A yesterday. I actually finished knitting it about a week and a half ago but I still needed to make a pom-pom for it and weave in the ends. I don’t know why but for some reason I can get lazy when it comes to weaving in the ends on a finished object. I just don’t get it. I go through all this time and effort on knitting the item up only to let it sit and wait for it’s ends to be weaved in. I do it all the time. I guess I must enjoy the process of knitting more than anything. Why else would I go to all that work only to stop when I am so close to being done with an item? It is not unusual for me to have several finished objects lined up waiting for their ends to be weaved in all the while I have begun a new pattern. Sometimes I think I like to frustrate myself!

 What drove me to finish the last little bit of her hat yesterday was the cold winds we had whipping through where we live. She needed that hat pronto. I like the final result. The pattern is from Last Minute Gifts and the yarn is Manos del Uruguay. The pom-pom is a mixture of Manos and some left over yarn that I hand dyed (the comfrey yarn).  As for who is modeling the hat, Princess A doesn’t want to leave it on long enough to get a decent picture of it.  :-)
