How I managed to get this much done as quickly as I did remains a mystery:
All that's left is the folded hem......which will have to wait until I knit
another hat that will actually fit my husband. I was so excited to find this yarn in my stash (
it was meant to be ~ you know that feeling ~ the right colors,
sport weight like the pattern calls for, exact yardage) that I neglected to double check my pattern notes from his last hat where I clearly noted that I used WORSTED weight yarn. Needless to say, when he tried this on at 11:30 last night he couldn't hide his disappointment that it just doesn't fit. At all. He tried to convince me that after I blocked it everything would be okay but the fact that it
doesn't fit me either speaks to the contrary.
So, a quick stop at Great Yarns! on my way home and lucky me, they had the EXACT same yarn I used on his last one, in Seahawks colors so I'm back in business. GAME ON!! Think I can whip out a second one before Sunday morning? Wish me luck ;) ~ Melissa
