The Southside Slouch

To celebrate ReBelle's 6th anniversary as well as our move to the southside, Sarah and I dyed up several skeins of anniversary yarn which will only be available in the shop today. I also created this simple slouch hat to accompany the yarn with slipped stitches in the back to accentuate the slouch.
