Day 99 of 2026

I am within an inch of beginning the decreases
 of the other end of this hat. 
That sounds like a good time
 to show you my color inspiration. 
In the foreground is my hat. 
The background contains one of my favorite, 
ready-made scarves.
Quite a while ago I pulled colors from my sock yarn stash 
that were as close as I could get to the originals.  
My initial intention was to make striped socks, 
which I may still do,
but then this hat pattern came to mind from my mental queue. 
I don't know if I will ever wear the hat and scarf together,
 but it feels good to make another item 
that contains all these happy colors. 

Side note: I don't wear long scarves much anymore. 
I rather prefer a cowl so I may connect the ends
 at the proper length to make that happen. 

Second side note: The blue and blue with black sections 
are for the reverse side of the hat. 
It will make sense when I show you the final project.
