As I recall, the Amazing Race season with the funky hats had a couple of grandmothers in the race who were knitting hats for everybody. So those hats were all gifts from a race team who brought their knitting with them. I remember thinking "how cool is that?" and wondering what I'd knit for everyone if I were there.

Missed that show, but those hats sure are cool! One of my friends makes bags and hers appeared on the show Charmed!

Love the funky scarf :)

That scarf would look extra funky with some i-cord "dreds" at the ends, just to complete the look ;-)

It would be useless to remind you it's August, wouldn't it?

fun hat and fun scarf!

LOL about the mutual love of funky hats not saving a marriage. Truer words never blogged.

Hubby and I don't see eye to eye on the funky hats issue, and maybe that is what is keeping the SPICE in our relationship.....HAR HAR! (--Oh, you exasperating, exciting, HATLESS MAN YOU! ---My darling, my weird-hatted little minx, you make me MAD, yet I adore you.....)

Chris' hat looks like something from a J. Crew catalog. Of course, that's the hat my husband would pick. He has a fear of anything too funky.

I don't remember hearing about that, Folkcat. There wewe some grannies in the beginning couple of episodes. So you heard that they were knitting for the other teams? How neat!

Exactly, Kathy, I was totally thinking of something truly hideous for fringe!

You're right, Nadia, completely useless. My obsession will not be restrained by 90 degree temperatures. The funkyknits will not be denied.
