It's Sunday so you know that means hats... And if you know anything about me at all, you know I like anything labeled "simple" so when a recent Ravelry search produced the
Sweet & Simple Lace Hat pattern, I knew I'd found the pattern for me.

A few minutes later, after retyping my Paypal password 50 times before I got it right, (I really should have chosen a simpler password!) I went stash diving for the perfect yarn.
I finally settled on
Knit Pick's Hawthorne in the Goddess Kettle Dyed color-way.

Sorry, horrible picture I know, but I'm trying to type this in the three minutes I have before I have to leave for work & I took the photo with my non-smart phone. But hopefully you get the idea. In real life, it's a beautiful, deep purple with slight variations in the color. And I think it will knit up into an even more beautiful version of
Sweet & Simple.

Here's a slightly closer up photo that shows the stitch pattern a little better. I've only knit a few rounds of the ribbing so far (darn pesky work!) but Karen Marlett, the
pattern designer promises the pattern is a simple four row repeat & easily remembered. Once again, you know how I like simple, easily remembered things.... And I think the Hawthorne will show off the stitch definition perfectly.
And now, my three minutes are up & I'm off to work. Sadly, it's a beautiful day and the weather is perfect for theme park visiting. I imagine I'll be busy & won't have a chance to knit on my
hat.
