New zealand wool

I bought a couple of balls of wool while I was in NZ. It is real wool, pretty hexxy, $15 for two but can notice the difference in the feel. I decided to knit myself a beanie to take to canada when we get there hopefully in 2015. Finished off the project that I was making and started on it. I have been making kids beanies so I knew that i needed to make it bigger. Added an extra 20 stiches and instead of 5inches, I went to 8 inches as i wanted a brim. Completed it lunchtime while watching Ellen and sewed up the side seam, put it on and said to darling hubby "What do you think?" with a smirk, he says it looks fine. Beanies dont do a lot for me i know but its done, only took four/five days.
