I knit a hat last week. Y’know . . . just sitting there, elevating my ankle . . .
(It’s this pattern in this yarn. Which I really like. And I will update my Field Notes. Eventually. But for now I’m engaged in a highly compartmentalized lifestyle phase and can’t quite make that a priority at the moment. Or it will throw off the incredibly intricate balance I am barely hanging onto by a thread.) (Just sayin.)
It is, alas, too big for me. So I had Tom try it on.
Who wore it better?
Tom wins this round.
(So it’s his hat now.)
I like the hat very much. Unless Tom needs a hat, I would be tempted to wash it and pop it in the dryer for 5 minutes to see if it would shrink just a bit. I have done that on some things I knit that were just a bit too big. I think it looks fabulous with your hair color. I hope your need for compartmentalization and balance gets less demanding soon, Kym.
I agree with Becky. It fits Tom better, but looks good on you. But hats are like that, often in search of the head to fit them.
I’m afraid it *is* Tom’s hat. But he could never rock that Elizabeth Smith sweater like you do 😉
