Happy Blogiversary!

I feel bad that I completely missed my one year anniversary of Psycheknits but I guess that's what you get when you go to college! I did end up finishing my scrappy blanket and I have decided to stay in the art program for the time being so to celebrate, I decided to make myself a cute little toque! I knit this baby up in one day, my own pattern, and I will be posting it on this blog soon as a little present to my readers (okay the one or two of you...)

I actually started out looking on Ravelry for toque patterns but I seriously couldn't find one that I wanted. I also didn't want to do a gauge swatch for this yarn. I bought it about a year ago as a mid-quarter pick me up and it has gone through many phases. I am almost 100% positive this yarn is Misti Alpaca Chunky, so it is nice and warm for Bellingham weather. It can be pretty flaky sometimes so its good to have layering options.
I also love how it covers my ears and can cover all of my hair. If it wasn't almost 9 I would get some outside pictures but for now these will have to do. It also works well with a folded brim, but this styling is my favorite! Hope you enjoy!

PS If you were wondering how the stash busting is going, I am still going strong using up all the yarn in my stash. Progress on Anise has halted for now but I will continue with it soon. I just want to clear out some of the wee bits of stash that linger. Also, being so close to finals week, I am in great demand of mindless knits. Huzzah for ribbed hats!
