33mm Hat

I'm knitting this hat for my film student brother. I've been meaning to make it for him since I started to learn how to knit but the double knit thing scared me till I actually tried it. He is up in Thunder Bay and its getting very cold, he tells me :P so the double knit will be excellent for him. 

Its been one month and a day since I started it, I thought I finished this evening only to find it sits a little weird and its quite big. It looks pretty good as long as its not on someone's head :S 

Luckily I chose to make it out of real wool I picked up a few months ago... and since I don't think I can ruin it much more, there's no time like the present to try my hand at felting. If it comes out a bit too short I'm thinking of trying some ear flaps on it. 

Thus far I have put it in some warm water with a little bit of soap and agitation for a few minutes. Will wait for it to dry, and see how it is tomorrow.
