Escargot ... Work In Progress

I recently decided to join in the Escargot KAL being organised by Babylonglegs on Ravelry. Sarah from Babylonglegs dyed me some amazing orange and brown yarn, and finally i've cast on. One of the main problems I had was realising I didn't have any circular needles in the right size - all sorted now.
My hat is not finished by a long shot, a raging head cold this week (plus a load of reports to write) means that it's prably going to be next weekend before I can show off my hat properly.

I'm really pleased with the pattern so far, and i'm really hoping that I can get a brown hat with an orange trim made from the leftover yarn, but we'll see ...
