The stockinette section just kept going and going.
That got a bit boring sometimes. So, I kept setting it aside to work on projects that were more fun.
I finally got so close to the 9" of stockinette yesterday that I was determined to get to the decrease section. Once I reached that point, I just had to finish. That part went quickly.
I never did find a label for this ball of sock yarn from my stash. I sure love the colors though.
The pattern is "Sockhead Hat" and its free on Ravelry. It's my first slouch hat.
I used 16", size 2 1/2 circulars and some DPN's to knit it.
It's not hat season around here right now.
But, it sure feels great to finish another project that's been sitting around for a while.
I know I'll get good use out of it next winter.

I absolutely love the colors. Fall colors are my favorite and that one looks like New England in October.
I made that hat. Let me tell you you deserve like an ice cream sunday with a butt load of cherries on top because that is miles of tiny stockenette and only one who has done it can appreciate it. Truly.
I do love my hat thought, it is soft and squishy and really cute on, but it won't be happening again, I can promise that.
I know you will enjoy wearing it as I do mine.

So pretty! And the colours are quite reminiscent of the colours int he rock formations you were hanging from while knitting. Couldn't be more perfect.
Love the close-up picture - the colors are gorgeous!
Nine inches of stockinette on size 2.5? Holy Crow, woman! You are a paragon of persistence and patience! And what a wonderful hat you got out of it, too. Love, love the colors. Very joyfully you.
Looks AWESOME! You've inspired me to start one so I can have an easy project to work on during my flights! I'll get the ribbing done before I fly then save all that stockinette for the trip :-)
Cheryl-- I love the hat!!! Love the yarn and the patten. Knitting slouch hats is one of my favorite projects-- you're going to love this hat when winter comes----but let's don't rush the seasons!!
It's just beautiful-- love the colors! Great stash buster:)
