Go Sharks! Hat

Well, the Sharks aren't looking so great, but my hat is done and ready for next year. I ended up doubling the yarn to make sure to use it all up and blend the colors more evenly throughout the hat. I tried several hat patterns but ended up with Chunkeanie by Wooly Wormhead. All the sordid details are in my Ravelry notes.

Go Sharks! Scarf

I've been wanting to make a scarf using linen stitch lengthwise, and when I saw the "Jaws" colorway of Lorna's Laces, I decided to make one using Sharks team colors. In addition to Lorna's Laces Shepherd Sport in "Jaws," I used Stonehedge Shepherd's Wool DK in Natural and O-Wool Classic 2-Ply in Black. I used this Linen Stitch Scarf pattern by Matthew Hesson-McInnis

Go Sharks! Scarf
The pattern says that the scarf takes a total of 500 yards. There are about 200 yards of the Sharks colorway, 200 yards of Sheperd's Wool, and 130 yards of O-Wool Classic 2-Ply so I worked out the following color sequence:
Row 1: Jaws
Row 2: White
Row 3: Black
Row 4: Jaws
Row 5: Black
Row 6: Jaws
Row 7: White
Row 8: Black
Row 9: Jaws
Row 10: Black
