I just finished the big picture's kyle scarf & patty hat patterns. Of course I'm feeling momentarily satisfied but then sets in the big question . . . Will I actually wear this? Having just skipped off to the loo to admire my creation, I've returned praying I won't end up on you knit what? Seriously, chunky is fun, but perhaps I'm crazy thinking I'll have an opportunity to sport this hat in San Francisco?! Who am I kidding? It rarely drops below 50º here. I think this hat warrants a minimum of 40º, don't you? I'm justifying keeping it since the hat was easy to knit, taking only about half an hour. If I only wear it once (does tonight count?), so be it. I can always sleep in it since these old Victorian homes get pretty damn drafty.
