To ease myself back into the knitting season, I decided to knit Cash a hat for the upcoming winter. The yarn is an alpaca/acrylic (gasp! how dare ye utter the word) blend I had left over from my sister's Christmas hat. I have a couple of basic hat patterns that I seem to come back to over and over, and I believe this pattern was from Last-Minute Knitted Gifts from Joelle Hoverson. I added my own crochet detailing around the edge. I'm no crocheter, so I can't even tell you what this is, but I'm pretty sure it's a half-double crochet. I sewed long strands through the earflaps and braided them to make the strings. The detailed yarn is the most fantastic fiber ever created. It's Karabella Chameleon, and it's soo soft.
Sorry, that's all for today. I've got a toddler trying to pull me off the couch. What do I look like, kid? Your caretaker?

cute hat. i need to knit. i'm just afraid that it requires way too much patience for my taste.
that last quote reminded me of when i was younger, in response to every "where is this/that/who..." question my dad would say, "what do i look like? your brothers keeper." um. actually dad. yeah.
i really hope i get to be just as patronizing with my own kids someday.
oops you made a cute hat....
