Tonight I started knitting a hat, to be posted as a free pattern on here since I haven't made one in a while. It's blue with one argyle diamond on it like the one Cho Chang wears in Hogsmeads (from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix). I'd like to make her scarf as well but that looks a little harder to do from this crummy little picture I found. I'm making it out of a new yarn I had never used before; It's a llama & silk blend make by Plymouth that's pretty soft. It doesn't have the same bounce to it that wool does, but I like it anyway. It didn't come in the exact right colors, so I'm using the light blue as-is for the main part of the hat, and Kool-Aid dyeing a skein of the darker blue to match the diamond colors. I was unsure if the 40% silk would prevent it from taking color, but it ended up working well. Here's a photo of what I'm copying:

Also, I got my photography page up and running. Nothing much to scream about, just some artsy-fartsy photos I've taken recently. Check 'em out if you wish.
