First attempt at knitting a Glengarry

[SemperFyffe]

This was a tough project for me. The only pattern I have been able to find is in a book called "Folk Hats" which is filled with a bunch of really ridiculous looking hats. I really didn't want to spend good money just so I could get one pattern. Just my luck, while looking around at a Half-price Books I found one for around six dollars. This was more reasonable for me. Turns out, the pattern wasn't much help in the long run as it was for a straight knit Glengarry. I really like the felted look so I had to do a LOT of modifying to the pattern. I had previously knit my daughter a balmoral in pink, purple, and green and really didn't see ever needing these colors again so I decided to use the left overs to give this pattern a try. She was very happy to get a new Glengarry in "her" colors!
