Hairy Hats

When I first started knitting I looked for unique hats to make.  I came across this fun design (http://www.headhuggers.org/patterns/kpatt10.htm) and bought the yarn for it on a black friday special.  It took me over a year to get up the nerve to try and work with the yarn and it's crazy compared to worsted weight!  I love making these hats, they remind me of Dr Seuss' The Lorax.  Much to my surprise, the yarn wasn't as difficult to work with as I thought it would be.

Every time my brother Zach would come and visit he would see Wesley's hat and admire it.  I told him that I'd make him one if he bought the yarn.  This weekend he decided to splurge and buy the yarn so I could whip it out before he left.  Zach adores any color that is bright and festive, so when he handed me the bright colored rainbow skein I knew he'd love the end result.

Yup!  Hairy hat smiles.
