I knew what I needed to do… but it helps that others gently shared their thoughts with me… even if y’all were laughing at the keyboard… it’s ok… because I cast on at 3:30 (yes… it took me that long to start.. I had a LOT of cleaning to do from hosting 8 extra people for the Holiday)… and I just took a photo at 8pm of the big girl wearing her cousin’s hat.. (and yes I stopped to eat dinner)… I tried it on too for good measure.. and certainly this bugger should fit a 12 year old boy!

And… to recap…

Very cool. I really like the waves in that - and at least I know someone else feels my hat pain sometimes
At 3:30? As in AM? Or as in this afternoon? Please tell me PM…. You are a nut!

I knew the hat would make it in the bag by trip time. Looks very hard, but great hat. My son would like it, it has that cool look to it. I am not good with mixing colors up yet.

29 days sounds so good when you say it. There’s hope!! The hats look great… both of ‘em. It appears that the first one is loved and has a happy owner, so it’s all good…
