FO- First Attempt At Color Work
OK, I know this is one ugly hat, but it was just a practice piece to try out stranding. No pattern, just some random shapes and patterns I made up as I went along just to get the hang of stranding.

Wonderful job, Mason! I think it's great that you jump into new techniques! You're an inspiration to the rest of us!

I think it looks great! I am working on my first colorwork right now too (stranded though not intarsia). I bet intarsia is much trickier.

Thanks, it's actually stranding, I gave up on the intarsia out of frustration.
