Rainbow Mohair Ribbed Hat

After a marathon photo session that left me with a dozen pictures of various projects, I've decided to post them every few days in more-or-less chronological order. Here we go.

This was one of my first projects when I picked up my needles for the first time after 4-H. I'd bought the yarn years before... one of those "I know I'll find the perfect project for this someday" purchases. I've long since lost the tag, so I can't tell you what the yarn is, other than mohair that I think I got at Fabric Place. The swirl wasn't planned, it just happened to work out that way. I think this was done on US #8 needles, circ then DPNs in the round.
