It has been years since I have made my husband a hat. Don't ask me why I have waited so long because he is the perfect hat recipient. I mean, he loves, loves, loves the hats that I make for him. He wears them indoors and outdoors, in the morning and at night. He talks about his hand-knitted hats, shows them to people he barely knows and loved ones alike. The only quality of my favorite hat getter that isn't so perfect is that he loses them-he loses all of them. The first one he lost at a truck stop, the second also lost (at a restaurant?). We'll see how long this one makes it.
I made the hat with Kureyon out of this pattern. Instead of casting on 95 stitches, I cast on 85 for the pea-sized head I was knitting it for and finished it in under five days. Very satisfying project. And as I said, it is well loved.

Looks awesome, Sachi! I hope Brian doesn't lose it!
I was hoping to get together this weekend, but Bianca got sick on Thursday. November has been rough, I tell you.... Anyway, I know you're going to TX, so I hope you have a wonderful time at home. Bee and I are leaving for VA on the 4th, but I'm off as of the 1st, so if you think you will be available, let me know. Maybe we can stop over and say hi...
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this I showed it to Rob and he wants one.
