Thank you everyone for your lovely comments yesterday! I can now finally come back on the blog without having to hide everything. Although I could have featured Bough ages ago!! I actually finished it in March, but I had not done the pompom, and it felt funny on me without it (although less so now that I have shorter hair) - and at the end of the day it is only head shots!
Let me start by I LOOOOOVVVVEEE this beanie hat. I bought the pattern as soon as I spotted it in BT Wool People Vol. 6.
It was also the opportunity to try Shelter. I reviewed it here, and despite my reservations, this is the perfect yarn to show off the cable work. Have you seen the definition of the design?

Pattern: Bough (WP Vol 6) by Leila Raabe
Yarn: Shelter in Soot
Needles: 4mm circular (smaller than recommended as saw comments
on the pattern knitting big), I am not sure it was necessary in the end.

Modifications: Not done on purpose, but I believe I forgot a section between the tree design and the cable.
I love this grey version, I wanted to knit something I could wear with any of my coats. However the green yarn used in the WP6 shots is really beautiful, and I may just need one in that colour too. So yes, I will use Shelter again, just because I think it really suits the design, and this time I will probably knit in 4.5mm to make it just a bit slouchier.
