Remember the jean leisure suit? When you wear a denim jacket and jeans of the same shade at the same time?
After taking these photos of my new favorite hat, I realize I'm sporting the Ultra Alpaca Leisure Suit. Two clothing items of the same yarn in the same shot. Lovely, huh?
I so dig this hat, but after noting the leisure suit and raising the question "How may knitted items should I own out of the same yarn?", I gave it to my good friend Laura last night. I'm thinking this is a valid question though - if you love the yarn, where do you draw the line? We all have those packs with a number of skeins in them. Do you make one item or a bunch, and if you make a bunch, can you keep them all? I feel pretty strongly that I can't walk around in an entire pumpkin alpaca wardrobe, but it sure would be nice..

Anyways, regardless of the fiber, I do sooo dig this hat - Super soft, way simple, and textural. Took one day to whip up. So, I'm casting on for another. In a different yarn :-). It was very easy, but a pattern didn't exist that I could find - I might write it up, since there's gotta be a need. Everyone craves a super simple, extra soft hat they can knit up on a pair of 7s and 8s in a night, yes?
