Well...I Do Need A Hat
It occurred to me a week or two ago that it's a sad state of affairs when a knitter doesn't have a warm hat or mittens for herself. And not being the kind of person to deprive myself, I set out to find myself a hat pattern and some yarn. Yeah, I know. I didn't forget about that Christmas knitting, but when it's -20 a girl darn sure needs a hat. But, it had to be a quick hat. I didn't have weeks to spend, I could barely justify a couple of hours, but justify I did. I took myself around to my favorite spots on the internet and came up with a lovely hat kit - yarn and pattern together - that's surely a time saver. And the yarn - hand dyed cashmere. Hello? What's not to adore about that? So, I ordered myself the kit and spent a couple of hours on my little project and now I have a hat.
Ombre has suffered because of the 2 hours I spent on the hat, but eh, whatever. My head will be warm.

I just bought some yarn yesterday to knit myself a hat. I was at my oldest son's soccer game last week and their stadium is on the lake and the wind about did me in! So I decided I needed a hat to got with my scarf. I don't know when I will knit it but it will be during the holidays while the kids are out of school. We won't have another game until January but it will be colder then! Yes, we knitters need hats too! Oh and I like then one you did for yourself.

Very nice - I am sadly without a decent hat for myself too - trying to get enough handspun together to make one up!

Well you know, mother's constantly tell us that we need to keep our head covers, so I'm sure your mom will understand why 2 hours were taken away from her Ombre, she would want your head warm.
cute hat too.

Cool hat...wish I looked even semi-decent in hats. Knitted hats, I mean. Felted? Not so bad. Keep warm!

VERY cute - I realized the other day, that I, too, needed a hat - what's wrong with us? hahaha Of course it will NEVER be -20 here, but I did just come home from Minnesota where it is frequetly that bad, and I had no hat. crazy

Great hat -- for work or play! (I spy casebooks behind you!) I really like the colors... neutral but still interesting.
