Argyle Lace hat

I'll always feel weird in hats, but I knit them anyway. This one is from "Boutique Knits" and I used Brown Sheep Nature Spun sport yarn in gray heather.

It was a pleasurable knit, had some interesting parts, but didn't require full concentration. The buttons are from an antique store.

Lots of things rhyme with hat for a silly headline, but I can't think of an appropriate one

Fat hat? No. Cat hat? No. Splat hat? Oh, forget it. I'll save my headline writing skills for when I get to work later.

I wrote before that I got a great newsboy cap pattern from McHats on etsy.com and was intrigued by the idea that one could whip up one's own hat, just like that. Ooh -- there's my headline: A hat, just like that!

I made my hat out of a tan corduroy with a funky lining. It was technically quite easy and fast, but I did have some problems with the fabric not feeding smoothly and getting little tucks all over. Also, it straight-up doesn't look good on me. I can't figure out if I'm just self-conscious in hats or if I just don't look good in it. I mush it this way and that, but I feel silly. It was a fun exercise in sewing, anyway.

Holy Chapeau!

I never wear hats. I never even think to. Recently, I've been knitting some caps for the winter. I always think I look terrible, but I hate being cold. Then I came across an etsy shop that sells hat patterns. What does this mean? Why, it means I can make one myself! A hat!

The shop is McHats, and she has gorgeous designs.

Here is the pattern I purchased. I used her picture, so I'll link it to her shop:

What does she think?

I finished the pom-pom on my "hat for some kid," and I can't tell if Roady approves.
