A Superhero is Born

Ala Mandy, I, too, have been procrastinating with a two-day project. (The sockapalooza socks will be finished, but, ah hell I had to sneak this in.) Because there are the necessary knits. You know what of I speak. For sure M will need a winter hat this coming season, and because I am cheap I already got her coat on sale from last season. So I know what color it is and I have the perfect wool for it. And I do so love the Ear Cozies pattern from Fiber Trends.

I am not sure, however, how I feel about this hat now that it's finished. I made one last year for M, and the yarn I used - Interlacements Toasty Toes - created nice spirals of colors around the hat. I have been having fun with this one, though, trying to make it into a good thing.

You see, on the front, it's a normal hat.

On the back, however, she has an unintentional lightning bolt of pastel pink! Watch out superheroes! Here comes M, the lightning bolt head!

gah. I may have to donate this one to the Dulaan project or to my niece. ;) I still have plenty of Plymouth Outback wool left to try again. AFTER the sockapalooza socks are finished, of course. wink wink.

That hat is so cute. I'm sure M will look too cute in it for your cold winters. You still have 1 month and a half for the Sockapalooza socks - procrastinate away!

Hi!
I found you through the virtual vaca swap, so I thought I'd say hello.
I have enjoyed reading your blog :)
See you on "virtual" vacation!

The hat is ADORABLE and you know I LOVE the colors. I love the project too :-)

From one major procrastinator to another...;-)

This is your Sockapalooza pal with a question. Now that I have finally picked out yarn and a pattern for your socks--how long do you like the cuff/leg of your socks to be?
