Warm Heads in Jan

Maya informed me she needed another brown hat with a little embroidery. Really, she didn't "inform" me, she asked very nicely. This time it was a peace sign she'd been thinking about.

I know this isn't a peace sign exactly, and I've since fixed my mistake, We added the extra little bar on the bottom, but I didn't manage another photo shoot. You get the idea. I used leftovers from the stash again - a skein of Cascade 220 for the hat, and a little leftover blue variegated for the peace sign. She's digging it.

As for me, I had a whole day to kill in a hospital waiting room while my sister got her ACL replaced. I had bought a skein special, and decided the amazing Rowan tweed needed something textural. This is the Trinity Stitch Hat.

The tweed is actually the most gorgeous deep green, with hints of gold and blue in it. It's amazing. Rowan does amazing things with yarn, huh? I wasn't sure I'd be able to pull off the oh so jaunty slouch, but so far I'm wearing this thing around as if I can - and attitude's 90% of the outfit, isn't it? I haven't exactly figured out where to put my hair in it, but my sister assures me I don't look too stupid. I'm not so sure. But the hat's amazing. Came out perfect.

So if it does look goofy, it's not the hat, it's me. My Oh So Jaunty might be off.

Now I'm in a rut, so I'm reading. Anyone remember Escape to Witch Mountain? I just reread that so me and Maya can discuss before the new movie comes out this summer. Next it's Inkheart. Then I'll figure out a new project.
