But no matter. It's done! And in the end, it's kind of cute. In a pink yarn barf sort of way.
I also finished a hat for my friend Jenni. It's been completely done for months, except for the little braids to tie it on with and for the top of the hat. During this week of sickness of doom, I finally got up the gumption to make the braids. Funny thing, no matter how long it is in between braids, you never forget how.
It's a bit wacky-looking, but for some reason I think it looks a lot like my friend. I hope she likes it- now my challenge is to find a post office near my new work. Supposedly there is one inside our other building... but I don't know how to get to that building from mine! These are the difficulties of DC life.
Two finished projects? Piffle. Let's go for three! I ordered yarn on Friday, received it Tuesday, and was finished (but for the pompom) by Tuesday night. It's a Jayne Hat. It looks like this:
Or on my (much tinier-than-the-boyfriend's) head:
Mission accomplished. I also am on the last lace chart for Hanami, got a few more rows into Autumn Rose, and 3 inches into a cute snowflake bag- my first holiday gift for 2008. For the record, boyfriend loved the hat. If you don't know why it is, in fact, a cunning hat- may I recommend Firefly?

I made a blue scarf like that. And love the hats. Especially the blue one.
That is a cunning hat indeed! Dallas is smart because the blue one rocks. :) Now I have a story for you about why the hat is really perfect (beyond making me look cuter than I already do). Growing up, my grandfather always wore a wool beanie of the cheapest variety, folded up so it didn't cover his ears. When I moved out to the Twin Cities, I realized that's a passed-down almost hereditary Tomassoni trait because my Uncle Dick does the same exact thing... and so does my cousin Brian, and now me. So you're just playing into what's already in my genes! MWAH! you're the best.
