Head start, the Retro cloche hat, knitted in Jo Sharp Double Knitting Wool, colourway Lichen.
It's really sweet and I'm very pleased with the result. I may end up changing the ribbon, - I had visions of velvet, but ended up using this dark tartan taffeta(?) ribbon as it was something I had already - but then again I may not!
I didn't start at the beginning of the opening ceremony after all, I was tired and tried to get some rest instead. I don't knit all that fast either, so while some other Ravthletes knocked off their hats in hours, mine took a couple of days to complete.
I've begun work on the girl's top, and it's coming along very nicely. I crochet faster than I knit, so it should progress quickly. Will post picture(s) next time.
Totally unrelated - it's cold today. I have three layers on, my toes and fingertips are freezing, and it's raining again. I'm off for some hot soup I think.
Cheers!

Oh I love it!!! The hat is GORG!!!! Velvet ribbon would be more my style but that tartan looks great! Love the colour of the yarn to. Most impressive sis.

Lovely, so glad you joined ravelry, it's a great idea and a good community.
Coming from Scotland I like the tartan ribbon, I do hope it's the Campbell tartan.
