The SSP was finished on time, wrapped, and gifted. I am so excited with how it turned out and even more excited to share pictures.
For the life of me I can't remember what yarn I used. Knit night is tonight (if they do not cancel) so I will check on the name of the yarn and post it in the comments later if anyone is interested. The hat was knit up on size 2 needles. First I tried doing the Liver bird (for that is what the pic is) with intarsia. I started over many times, taught the kids some new swear words, and finally decided duplicate stitch was the way to go.
I want to thank Elizabeth for posting her Liver bird chart. I truly believe if I had to add charting the bird, this project would never have started. I am debating writing up the pattern and putting it on Ravelry, but I am not sure yet.
As far as I know my hubby is thrilled with his hat. I think it looks great on him. Hopefully he will wear it during matches and Liverpool F.C. will do a bit better from now on.
I have a bunch of new projects started but that is a post for another day.
