What?!

Isn't she fabulous?

What is the pattern.  Squishy is the girl.  New Tweed in some kind of pink tweedy color was the yarn.  I say 'was' because it's sadly discontinued.  Lovely but no longer with us.

Love the hat.  Loved the yarn.  Will mourn the yarn and knit the pattern again and again.  Such a clever and dead simple idea for a hat.  I can see it being done in several different ways for different looks.

Love it!

Mrs. Squishy also posted a photo of another hat I knit for her after recieving a text telling me she needed a girlie hat.  Since we have different idead of what "girlie" is, I figured options were good.  A girl always needs options...

Thanks for all the love and support regarding the cables. 

Just so my beloved lurkers and those jealous bitches know... my issue is with taking photos of a cabled project.  Not with making the cables.  I'm an old pro with cables at this point.  In fact, as I type, I am wrapping up another cabled project while planning the next one. 

Cables are great for keeping the hands busy while the mind ponders sweater patterns, the eternal debate about what's lunch and this week's mystery about the new fat pants that are the right size but way too big. 

Yeah... just imagine what it's like in my head.  You'd knit hats to relax, too.

Cables soon.  Swears.

She looks good from the side/back in that purdy sissyfied hat. I'm so impressed that you can knit cables whilst thinking of other things. I either focus or screw up. There is no other way for me. Oh, and I need a cable needle, too. Isn't that just really sad? I didn't think so, either;-D

Such a pretty hat! Love the color.
I wish I could think about other things while I knit...if I don't stay focused all heck breaks out!

Squishy is very pretty in pink! Pondering is the fun part of knitting.

Nice hat. Perhaps I need a nice relaxing hat to knit while another project sits and thinks about what it's done & then tells me how to fix it.

Cables! Cables! Cables! (bangs fists on table in time to the chanting)

What a great hat pattern! I hadn't seen that one before.
The sun will come out. Photos will be fine.

Perfect hat pattern -- and perfect yarn (too bad about the discontinued part) -- and perfect model.

Squishy is a blonde?! How did I not know that? I had always pictured her as a brunette. Of course, I picture you as a 5'11" model with blue hair and rune-ish tats that spell out "Hello Kitty!" across your shoulders...

LMAO @ kmkat...

Nice hat! I like the boxiness. (Is too a word.)
People thought you had issues knitting cables? Fersirius? (I once chatted with a girl who was self-taught in the knitting, and all she made was garter stitch blankets. I told her I loved cables and she said, "OH, me too, but they're way too hard for me." As I did not yet know how to knit, I agreed with her. I have oft wished I could find her to tell her it's not hard.)

Squish is pretty in pink!

So are you drowned? We had a lake in the backyard for a bit.

[KellyS]

you are teh sweetest

[gayle]

I was just worried that you were knitting cables with splitty fuzzy yarn. You know, like I am... *sigh*
Pretty pretty hat!
(I'm LMAO at kmkat, too! Tell us it's true!)

The hat, and Squishy, are adorable. I'm with you on the cables: love them! I'm working on a cabled hooded scarf right now and have cabling without a needle down to a science.

[Becky]

Oh, and I agree: photographing cables is a bitch.

[Karen]

Lovely hat! Why is the nicest yarn always discontinued? I'll never understand...

[Sarah]

And here I thought there would be a lot of Who's on First comments.

I may need to start knitting the tinfoil-lined hats to do something about the things in my head, though I doubt it would really help. xoxo
