Even if I don’t actually like yesterday’s hat, it still deserves to be finished and so it needs a pompom. To be honest, it’s not that I really dislike the hat it’s that the yarn was hard to work with. I won’t use that brand again!

There was enough yarn left in the ball to make a nice pompom to match. It was a really big skein and I found 2 more unopened skeins, so I have a lot of this yarn. It should be OK to weave with — I think it will become a few nice warm scarves.

I have several sizes of pompom makers and I have chosen the largest one for this hat. Perhaps a big fluffy pompom will save it!

Yep — that’s better!
