Our Joan, ladies and gentlemen! Yeeeeeesssssss!
It seems that I've been blogging too much this week and that's how she brought up the topic. I remember 2006. I think that was the last time I was actually happy. *L*
If you ask me, she's just jealous that I didn't knit her a fabulous hat like this one.
Btw, photo was edited done using Typepad's fabulous new photo editing tool. It's totally fabulous and fixed the color issues with the above photo without me having to kill anyone or take hostages. This is huge, people!
Huge!
You must be a beta user to use this new photo thingy, btw. Totally easy to become, though. It must be. I'm one after all.
Other than that, things are going well enough. The clouds are rolling in. My hand/wrist and I are very love-hate right now. I had a mini-meltdown the other day because the last man I will ever love was trying to be sweet to me and it brought up all kinds of issues I'm trying to keep under control. Thank goodness he mostly failed at being sweet or my head would be in the oven by now. Yeah, see what happens when you read the whole post? :p
Happy Friday, people!

ovens are for different cookies,,,xoxo
I do love the hat, in use even!

Another super cute hat!
I'm with kellys...wrong kind of cookie to put in the oven.
Have a good Friday!
xoxo

Men are like that. Yeah, they are. But, we still want 'em. Ah, well. You have NOT been blogging too much. Somebody has to keep everyone in line. And, the hat? Seriously? I mean, seriously? I LOVE IT!!!!!!!! Happy Friday, Sweetie!!

Great hat, great pattern, perfect fit and color. So glad you're heads not in the oven. A grrl's gotta keep her head.
Had no idea Typepad had a photo editor. Looks good so far!

Heads are meant for hats. . . not ovens. Even when men are involved.

Hat on the head good, head in the oven bad. Great hat, btw.

Where's the pompom?
Men shouldn't be sweet unless that's their usual. Really, when they try something new it screws with the whole schedule.

Just your head, or your shoulders, too? How big is the oven?
Posted by: Kim | Friday, January 20, 2012 at 09:21 AM
Stick him in the oven next time. LOVE the hat!
Posted by: Anne | Friday, January 20, 2012 at 10:13 AM
It is a fabulous hat (I just typed "oven". I'm sure your oven is very nice, but not fabulous enough to put your head in.)
Posted by: Ruth | Friday, January 20, 2012 at 10:52 AM
Aw, everyone stole all the good hats vs. oven jokes. I'll just say the hat rocks. xx

Awesome hat. You are slowly convincing me that I need to make myself one. I just made me a Noro slouchy hat and have vague plans for another hat that is soooo cool, just need to get the perfect yarn. Since I wear a hat only when the temperature is sub-zero, I really don't need a whole wardrobe of them, but I may rethink that.
You are slowly revealing yourself to your blog readers -- when will we get to see your face below the nose?

Love the hat; keep outa the oven--too hard to clean and all that. Try using a "crafter" glove--fingerless bland nude color--for the wrist.

What Anne said! but why wait for next time? :)
The hat is a beauty and the color is even better now.
I may need to knit one of them big cable hats one of these days too. That is if I will manage to stop gartering,,,,
Have a good weekend girl!

That hat is awesomely awesome. As are you. 2006 or not.
Posted by: April | Friday, January 20, 2012 at 02:14 PM
I was thinking you've been blogging a lot and I like it. The hat is great and I love that photo.
Posted by: Carole | Friday, January 20, 2012 at 02:31 PM
Seriously, stick his head in the oven, your head looks too nice!
I love the cable hat. Those cables. Love them! I can't remember if you knit this from a pattern because otherwise open up an etsy shop and sell them! I saw a shitty cable hat on my commute home yesterday. It was a mass produced number from the popular cold weather gear place that everyone around here wears. The cables barely went up to the crown and then disappeared and some weird nipple thing was on top. Yuck.
I may seriously have to succumb to a loose knit hat of some sort. The trouble with the hood on the coat is obscures my peripheral vision. Have a good weekend!

Ovens are not for heads, especially if they're electric ovens.
Love the hat!
Am totally willing to kick tlmiwel's head in, if you need me too.

Love,love,love the hat and the color is gorgeous! That is wonderful that you were able to correct the color issues. I'm convinced a little creature lives in my camera & screws up my colors everytime I take a picture. And please don't put YOUR head in the oven!!! There is a reason why oven mitts go on your hands. ;-) Sending a big hug in hopes it helps. :-)

Last man you'll ever love? Does that mean you're switching sides?
I'm glad to hear that the head (and hat) didn't go in the oven. It's a nice hat. It's a wonderful head.

Starting with the hat.
Absolutely Fabulous. Extraordinary. Love it.
BTW You haven't been blogging too much. It's been great. As a selfish non-blogger I've been enjoying your posts. It January. I need something to keep me motivate with the lack of light and all.
Must make a hat like your's. It's the 3rd day here with the temp not creeping above freezing. I've been wearing the same hat for days. A girl gets bored.
Happy Friday. At least I hope it got happier than the end of your post. Hate to see anyone with their head in the oven. Cleaning ovens is such a chore. (Smiles)

I love that hat! Great color too. Oh, and....Back Away From The Oven"
Posted by: Doris | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 07:21 AM
All the good hats/ovens jokes are gone. /pout
Not the last man you will ever love. The next-to-last man you will ever love. Important difference. After all, if I found a good one, anyone can.
Posted by: gayle | Saturday, January 21, 2012 at 09:09 AM
The last man you will ever love? When they're a dime a dozen? And no, the oven is definitely for another kind of cookie.
Your Giant Head shows off the cabling in that hat beautifully.

I'm with Kitten... about men and being sweet.
You are so Lovely. Lovely.
Absolutely lovely, I'm tellin' ya!
