If you give a goofball an earflap hat…

December 30, 2010 at 8:00 pm (blather, knit, make)

She’ll thrash around in paroxysms of joy and goofiness.

True story. More of what is most likely my last FO of the year under the cut.

So, I made a double-knit, earflap hat for myself, since Greg says his is so warm, and I need a good freezing-fucking-cold-weather hat. I actually started it like this time last year, and have *finally* finished it. I’ve got a pair of armwarmers from Sock Dreams that are kind of striped like this, so I made a hat to match.

Some in-progress shots:

Um, yeah, I love it.

    Adorable! And I’ll bet it’s warm as hell. Ah, double-knitting … twice the work for the same amount of fabric!

      Thanks! And it is warm. But double-knitting is a bit of a pain in the ass. But very little finishing to be done, and I love that.

    A woman walks down the street in that hat, people know she’s not afraid of anything. :D

      Walk softly, and wear a pom-pom’d earflap hat. ;)

      You, too!

    LOL you are too cute. I’ve always wanted a hat like Jayne’s in Firefly :)

    I love all hats so this is AUTO-WIN, but unfortunately have not basked in the glory of Firefly (forgive me!) and must simply sit on the side and pine for such a gloriful piece of headwear.

      And thank you, too! Jayne’s hat is pretty sweet, but it always reminds me of candy corn.
