I know I started writing about this hat in the fall and should have gotten this pattern out ages ago, but I was once again the victim of my own lack of organization. I lost my notes. There, I said it. I’m a hot mess. I was so excited when I was making the hat that I didn’t really make …

The finishing touches are on my I Love Herringbone Wanderlust project, and not only is it finished, but it actually has a proper name – All Good Things! Why did I decide to call it All Good Things?

Wow, so it’s been a while! It has been almost seven months since I last posted about this hat and so much has changed in that time! So much to write about that I’m not even sure where to start, which is why I haven’t yet. Anyway, I had originally designed the hat for a trip we were planning for …

I got the name, of course, from my …
