My most ambitious project yet

I’m so excited to start my new project! I’m using this pattern: http://www.cascadeyarns.blogspot.com/2013/03/fishtail-lace-slouch-hat-in-eco.html
I’m knitting it using this yarn:

It’s double stranded, so I’ve been too nervous to use it since I bought it two years ago. I think it’s time, though. Wish me luck!

That should be really pretty! :thumbsup:

I’m wishing! :cheering:

ok so this yarn is not good for making a hat. It’s too thick and my needles are too small. I’ll just make a lace scarf. Can anyone recommend good patterns?

What weight is the yarn? If you want a hat from it still, there’s almost certainly a pattern that would play well with the yarn.

Is there not a pattern that calls for that kind of yarn and do you not have needles that do go with the yarn? I hope you find something that uses the yarn. It would be a shame not to use it when you have persuaded yourself that it’s time you did. I usually check Knitting Patterns Central, although it can take a while to troll through them all to find something suitable.

Have fun whatever you decide to do!

Beautiful yarn! I do believe I’ve knit 3 projects using this yarn! It’s wonderful stuff. You’ll find it fun to work with! Looking forward to your project photos! LOVE THE PATTERN…and I have some Eco Duo leftovers hanging around here.

La Boheme by Fiesta Yarns…is this your yarn? Looks like it.
