Brand New Hat... How 'Bout That

Can you tell I live with a toddler?  Our world seems to be spoken in rhymes these days as Elise is finally developing an attention span long enough to sit through select story books.

So you all remember the hat I cast on right before I left for TNNA, right?  I realized I neglected to share FO pictures, so I figure now is the time.  I wanted a new sample of my Lansing Beret to show off in my booth and I had the perfect Plucky yarn that I've been itching to use for over a year now.

It's amazing how quickly a hat whips up- especially with extra squishy yarn and a lace pattern.

I also figured this was a good time to give a pregnancy update.  Just over two weeks to go and enjoying the last few days until I am a mother of two.  Sometimes we think Elise knows a big change is about to happen because she has been on her best behavior.  I have been informed that this will all change once the new baby comes (yikes!).

But now for a couple where you can actually see the hat better:

For those of you who are unfamiliar with this pattern, it was designed for the Lansing Area Shop Hop a couple years back.  The pattern is now available on Ravelry, but you'll have to look up the Lansing Cowl in order to find it.  The pattern is a 2-in-1:  both the hat and cowl are included in one pdf download.
