it's a girl! Hat.
I so seldom knit for girls that it didn't even occur to me that most of the hats I'd made for the kids for caps program were sort of boy hats. Until I found some leftovers of Debbie Bliss' cashmerino asktrakan in my stash. It was so fluffy and purple that I had to do something girly with it. I did the roll edge, a small dot on the top, and a big, floppy flower in the asktrakan and the rest in some white Pingouin also from the scrap stash. (By the way, the asktrakan is cool looking and fine to knit with, but trying to rip something out, seam, weave in ends, or pull a strand through live loops is a nightmare. I'm glad I was only doing a little trim and embellishment with it.) You think S will hate me someday for taking pictures of him in all these hats? posted by alison at 10:17 am | in

It is a cute hat....hopefully he will forget that you are making him wear a girl's hat :).

Posted by: Michelle at November 13, 2005 11:16 AMNice job, as usual! I can imagine the little girl who is going to get this, loving it wanting to thank the anonymous knitter someday!

I suspect it all evens out. (And I never would have known the model was a boy if you hadn't told me.)

I love the flower. :) Posted by: Samantha at November 14, 2005 9:17 AMI love that yellow Kool-aid yarn! It made a terrific hat, a perfect match. :) It is so bright!
