Spiral Hat from 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders in Patons SWS (Soy Wool Stripes) worsted weight 70% Wool/30% Soy (yes, Soy!) in Geranium on US 8 16" circular and double-pointed needles.Braided Hat from a free pattern site on the internet (you may have to register) in Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride worsted 85% Wool/15% Mohair in Tahiti Teal on US 8 16" circular and dpn's.
My friend Gail asked where I buy my yarn and needles. I like to support my LYS (local yarn store) when I can, but that is not always possible. I love Handworks in Smicksburg (they carry my favorite Lamb's Pride wool/mohair), and Michaels carries more natural fibers than it used to (that's where I bought the Patons SWS). For great prices on affordable luxury yarns (think alpaca & silk, or cashmere!), try Knit Picks online--they have a great paper catalog, too.
