I am not a big tooter of my own horn, but last year I knit this hat for myself, and I loved it. While I love to knit, love to knit hats (or just about anything) and think that, empirically, hats are a really good idea, I also think I look pretty stupid in them. But I love this hat. I even think it looks cute on me. My knitting pal Jenny who claims to not like to wear hats because she says she looks silly (she is way too pretty for that, you can see for yourself below) "appropriated" the sample I knit for the shop and wore it every day. In the summer. In Southern California.

And it was fun to knit, kept me interested but was not so challenging as to make me curse at myself and let me play with some new (to me) ideas.
When I was home in December my sister and the WBBF encouraged (or badgered, depending on your point of view) me to write it up.
That is harder than I thought, so just about in time for the fall weather this year, I think I have it all done. Final formatting and proofreading approval pending, there will be a hat pattern coming soon!
