Today I've decided to take part in WIP Wednesday, hosted by Tami's Amis. In between preparations for Fibre East I am finding time for some knitting.
I am making the Fatigue Cap, available on Ravelry (log in required). It's a 1940s pattern, a simple hat anyone could knit for soldiers in the Second World War. I am using my Knit Pro Symfonie needles from www.p2tog.com. The pattern says 3.25mm but I'm using 3.75mm which seems to work better for me with this yarn. The yarn is one of my hand dyed yarns in Citrus. It is 100% wool, grown and spun in Sussex.

It is a really easy pattern, just stocking stitch with no shaping, I think I should be able to cope with it! This is only the second time I've used circular needles, I'm really enjoying knitting in the round, there's something soothing about the continuity.
I've got a away to go yet but maybe you can help me - how do you block a hat?
Do go and see what other people are making over at Tami's Amis. I'm also linking up with Woolly Wednesday.
