Knitting is a boon for
those of us who are
easily bored. I take
my knitting everywhere
to take the edge off of
moments that would
otherwise drive me stark
raving mad.
~ Stephanie Pearl-McPhee
A quick and easy knit
that was perfect to do
while watching the
London Olympics.
Reading another great
book from Stephanie
Pearl-McPhee because
she makes me laugh out
loud.

The hat looks awesome! I love the white. And I have been wanting to make one of those slouchy hats.
ReplyDeleteI'm on a yarn-diet right now - trying to use at least half of the yarn I have before I buy more BUT now I really need to buy some white and knit hat just like this! love it ! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat hat! Don't you love it when you have a handy head willing to model it? I hope you are keeping busy while your little one is moving.
ReplyDeleteFab hat! I love the Yarn Harlot books - they're so funny but I have to space out my purchases because I devour them too quickly!
ReplyDeleteGreat hat!! I must read some yarn harlot, I love her blog, so I'm sure I would love her books!
ReplyDeleteThe hat looks great. Nothing like a good giggle while reading. Jacinta
ReplyDeleteWonderful hat and model (although he doesn't look tremendously excited to model mom's hat). My husband always knows when I laugh out loud that I am probably reading the YH's blog or one of her books.
ReplyDeleteI love the hat! It came out great. I hope you are doing ok without the wee one. Sending you big hugs this week!!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful hat! I too have a slouchy hat on my To Knit list.
ReplyDeleteLaughing out loud is a gift, isn't it?
Nice hat! I love Stephanie Pearl-McPhee, her books are some of my favorites!
ReplyDeletegreat knit--super model!!! (I love Stephanie's books, too!!! You just know all us knitters really do the same crazy things---over and over and over!!!!!)
ReplyDeleteOh, Tracey. The straight-on picture of your lovely boy in the hat? The statue behind him makes it look like the hat has big cat/anime ears. And now I feel absolutely compelled to knit such a hat. Inspiration from all places, yes? (:
ReplyDeleteWhen I laugh out loud at a book, my husband assumes that I'm ready the Pink Carnation series (though he calls it the pink flamingo).

ReplyDeleteI love books that make me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteNice hat! Want something like that for myself. I have never used double pointed needles and need to get a set...I'm going to need them to finish the hat I'm working on.
ReplyDeleteSuch wisdom that Stephanie has! I love your hat. It looks so pretty in white.
