Trying not to get rusty

I guess sometimes the mood strikes and sometimes it just won't. I have not made anything in a long while and then while watching Warehouse 13, I decided to keep myself busy. Two weeks later, I had all this mess. I was mainly trying to get through my yarn stash and see how many things I could get out of a standard skein.

I am not a fan of self-striping yarn, in fact, I think most of it works up quite ugly and I never buy any unless it is particularly ugly. I do like the colors in this bright and heinous yarn though. Still ugly. The rest of the hats are wool which I seldom work with because I am allergic to it and I have no idea why I ever bought avocado green yarn but I might have been on an ugly streak.
