Shetland Wool Week was supposed to happen Sept 26-Oct 4 this year, but as the organizers have said, this is a "gap year". They did an awesome job putting a large number of events online that are still accessible at their website. This was the first year I could "attend" any of the events, because I'm not free to travel at that point in the year while I'm teaching.
Recently I've been perusing the Shetland Wool Week Annual 2020, and there are at least 3 items that I plan to make. In fact, I just finished the first one!
It's called Da Skaw Beret. The pattern calls for 2-ply Shetland lace yarn in white, but I only have 1-ply in that color, so I made mine with 2-ply in black. It's actually a very dark brown.
It's not an especially warm hat, but it did a good job keeping hair out of my face in all the wind we've had.
Next up, once my order from J&S Woolbrokers arrives, is Strom Cardigan.

Your hat looks terrific!!! The sweater looks like a nice project too - with some steeking, eeek!! I'm looking forward to seeing its progress, just as soon as your order arrives from the other side of the pond!
