Just in Time for Winter to be Over

On a day of utter boredom and never-ending reading, I decided it was time for a new hat so I pulled out my yarn bucket and scoured the internet for a pattern.  Finding about a thousand different ones I liked, it was time to invent and create.  Using about 6 different stitches (and my own variations of them), 3 sessions of unraveling, a plethora of frustration, and 8 different patterns, THIS was born.  PERFECT - - - -just in time for Spring!  Neat thing is (a.k.a. not planned), I had an extra button from my coat so I added that to the flower and now I feel all color coordinated.

The test run was going to be at cross-country skiing last night, but we couldn't get up the canyon in my roommate's car.  (Some people just should NOT drive in the snow, EVER.  I don't care if you ARE from Utah).  So, until we meet again little hat, enjoy hanging out of the pocket of my coat.

Thought for the day

"There are lots of ways of being miserable, but there's only one way of being comfortable, and that is to stop running round after happiness. If you make up your mind not to be happy there's no reason why you shouldn't have a fairly good time." - Edith Wharton
