meathead hat

for the past week or so i've been slowly banging out a clover lace caplet-of my own design. it's been slow going and i really needed some relief. so, since it was chilly out today, i decided to knit up these quick meathead hats. i used lion's brand extra bulky weight yarn and size 15 needles. the pattern called for bulky weight held tog; so i figured single strand would be fine. you have child, small/med, or large size choices and the first one i made was the sm/md. it ended up being way too big even for chad (he's wearing it). so i quickly did another in the child size which fit me like a glove! it only took about 30 min to do and it's just so darn cute! i also knit the flower which was quick as well. it was on a pattern for house slippers as an embellishment, and i thought it would be a nice touch. i attached it to a safety pin, so it's removable and can be used on anything else you choose. this hat was exactly what i needed, what a nice break!

i had to post these because they're beautiful. it's the sunset view from our window.
