New Yarn, New Project

I've been seeing this hat everywhere online lately and I was definitely thinking about crocheting it despite the fact that the last time I crocheted a hat was in middle school and I worked on it with lots of help from my grandma. Well, the yarn (Lion Cashmere Blend) went on sale at the Hancock's down the street, so I swooped in (the place was packed) and nabbed the last two balls of the color I wanted: charcoal. It was a good thing that was the color I wanted, because they only had one more ball and it was baby blue.

One of the comments on the pattern post stated that the hat only took 45 minutes, but I know I probably won't be able to finish until at least sometime next week or maybe even after Las Vegas.
