And another thing. It seems ironic that with all my knitting, and all the meathead hats out in the world, that I am a person without a hat. I was sooooo cold today on the way home from work. Is anyone interested in knitting me a meathead hat? I'll trade you some yarn!

The thing is, I want to knit myself a hat. But I want it to be this Inga Hat, which I've bought yarn and swatched for. But I'm so pressed for time that my hat plans are far beyond what I can knit now. My knitting is already in process beyond the dawn of the new year. I can't go that long. And today...in Nordstrom Rack?...I almost bought a knit hat. Almost. Bought. a Hat. It looked like one of them mason dixon washcloths, actually. It was cute. But come ON. Finally I could not spend the 13 bucks on it, knowing I could knit a fine hat, if only I had the time.

So I froze at the bus stop, and cursed myself.

Oh I'd offer to knit you a hat, but my knitting is full till like 2009. Do you not have a hat from last year? ;)

I would totally knit you a meathead hat, dude ;-) What color?

[Mama Urchin]

Larissa, I have a feeling you'll be inundated with hats. I'm happy to knit you one, no trade required.

You're more than welcome to the red snowflake Meathead I made for the KAL. It gives me a rash so I can't wear it *sigh* but as it's picture went into the book I also couldn't send it off to someone I didn't know would give it a good home. Say the word and it can be in your mailbox pronto. Yarn in trade is fine but totally not necessary, don't think I'll run out anytime soon. ;)

Well, considering that I've made five of them since getting the pattern on Saturday, I'm sure I could spare one...address please!

Hi all,

Thank you so much! I'll email you individually.

Korin, my hat from last year was very thick fleece and it *shrunk*. It is so small it makes my head ache, so I take it off. Also, I'd made a calorimetry headband recently, and I lost it when I had a seizure in the park (along with my glasses!)

I'm hatless too. I make the hats. I don't wear the hats. My head is cold and I never think I should do anything about it.

I need to make somebody else a hat, though, and it shall be Dulles.

In other news, very happy to hear that Nordstrom has got the MDK fever. xox Kay

Oh man! Losing a calorimetry AND your glasses due to a seizure. bummer! I actually have a mini calorimetry around here somewhere that looks dorkish on me, I'll bring it next time I go to tandem :D

Oh, there's my boy! Thanks for the warm fuzzies today on my third day back to work...
