Hats
December 3rd, 2008
We wear so many hats, don’t we?
One of my favorites is when Alan dons his story-reading hat. We’re a very captive audience.
There’s this silly-looking blue hat that I don’t write about too much.
It’s been a long time, but in about six months I’ll be back to wearing this on a regular basis again.
There’s the cute ones that make chubby cheeks seem even more munchable.
There’s the big-sister hat. Monkey does an amazing job of showing her baby sister tons of love.
And, then, there’s the ones that help you strut your stuff, even when your unruly curls threaten to take over.
Pattern: Meret (rav link)
Yarn: Knit Picks Andean Silk in Cranberry, 1.5 balls
Needles: US5 (I’m a really loose knitter)
Mods: I casted on for the medium, didn’t read ahead so I accidentally started the lace pattern for the large, realized that my row gauge was WAY off, so ended up doing an extra repeat for a total of 3 pattern repeats. It fits perfectly. How’s that for serendipity?
And, now, I will put on my finishing-up-my-thesis hat…the one that will be worn for two more weeks. I can’t wait.

Good for you that you’ve almost finished your thesis. Two more weeks to go… I hope you aren’t too stressed.
Your chubby cheeks are very sweet. And so is the big sister.
