my sweet husband came home for lunch today, and brought me dessert. normally, i start knitting 7:30 in the morning, forget lunch til 2-3, occasionally remember to take truck out, and then keep going til colin gets home at 6. it’s nice to have the day broken up a little differently, and to have something tasty and sticky to munch on whilst blinding myself on this damned Malabrigo!
beard hat finished, and shipped off to mr. Terry Border! he was gracious enough to take a self portrait for me to post. i tried to model the hat on colin before i sent it off, but his rather wild and unruly beard made it look really silly.
the beard buttons on and off, and the buttons, at mr. border’s request, are a bit unorthodox. i made them from beer bottle caps, and they turned out quite charmingly. i think i will certainly make beer cap buttons for many other projects.
thanks terry!
long time, no post! i have finally gotten on top of all of the knitting i had sitting around. here i am, finishing off a trade piece i made. the talented terry border has graciously agreed to trade me one of his bent images for a hat. no ordinary hat, a beard hat! i knitted this particular hat up as a regular hat with buttons on the sides, so the beard is detachable. pictures will follow, i hope!
this photo is me doing a little kitchen sink dying, of said beard hat. i knitted it up in lovely natural white Berroco Peruvia Quick, and gave it a nearly fire-engine red hue. super beard hat!
