bedlamsbardGUYS I HAVE FINISHED MY HAT.
And...I'll just copy my Ravelry post about it:
After seeing The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, I wanted to knit something – anything! And barring a scarf, the closest thing was the cap Edmund is wearing in England. I used the Headline News - Cabled Newsboy Cap from Stitch ‘n’ Bitch Nation as a guideline and did everything except cables; I did the body of the cap in stockinette instead. The cap came out a little big for me, even with my hair in a ponytail; I might try running elastic through the brim to make it tighter. I didn’t have any plastic mesh for the brim, so I used cardboard instead – specifically, the piece of cardboard stuck in calendars to keep them flat, cut down to size.
Now what will I knit while I'm laboring over my Susan fanmix?
(Ha, I should probably mention my hat is 100% wool. Very useful for New Orleans in August, yes? *dry*)
