Introducing the Koolhaas Hat. This pattern is from the 2007 Interweave Knits Gifts. I've eyed the pattern for most of the year, so when a friend emailed and asked for a hat to keep his head warm in Minnesota, I decided to make this. I used some random wool from New Mexico. Fun pattern and a nice way to experiment with a new stitch pattern a bit.
This year's holiday edition of Interweave Knit Gifts is out now and I am tempted by it. Nice shiny new ideas. Never mind that I have hundreds of "old" ideas that I have never executed yet. I seem to collect books and ideas instead of executing the ideas I already have. In order to combat this, I think it is time for another little game with myself. I, Lisa, do solemnly swear that I will not buy the latest edition of Interweave Knit Gifts until I have executed at least 10 of the ideas that I currently have. Here is a beginning list:
1. Finish Hailey's knucks.
2. Finish my Dogwood Blossom Shawl.
3. Twirly Girl apron.
4. One other apron.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.
10.
I'll need to fill in the list as I go along, but this will definitely be a beginning! It should take me through the next month or the end of the year, depending on how many projects I get to. Wish me luck!

Lisa- I know what you mean about wanting to start more when you have so many "old" projects in your head and in your house;) I just finished the quilt that I had been working on forever so that gives me permission to start at least four new projects. Right?!
Great idea! I can't wait to see your finished products.
