Felicity & Beanie

Our local coffee shop that we hold our weekly knit night at has new summer hours. Unfortunately they were going to close at 7 on Wednesday nights & throw a huge wrench in our plans!
Luckily, the owner knows we have been meeting there for years & years and graciously provided us with 2 baristas to stay as late as we want.
I thought it would be nice to gift both baristas (who wear hats continuously, year round).
This hat, the Felicity, is for the wonderful girl barista.
I used Fiesta Boomerang yarn and the free Felicity hat pattern.
Size 7 & 8 needles got me gauge.
Here is the guy barista’s Single Crochet Beanie using Otono Cotton & an I hook.

This is my Aestlight shawl, all finished!
I used 2 balls of  Handpaintedyarn.com Boutone wool. Named for all the fantastic little wormy/coiled sections in the yarn that act like little buttons popping out.
I love it, the texture & pattern are meant for eachother!
So glad that after 4+ years of having this yarn in my stash I got to use it all up on the perfect project!
