Yes, another one. They are all slightly diffrent but not very much so. One I hemmed the edge to make a beanie, one I left out the ribbing at all & had the cables right down to the brim & this one, well, this was knit as the pattern directed.

Malabrigo Mernio Worsted in Olive on US 6 & 8′s. Perfectly stretchy for the man’s head it’s intended for. Nice & long too. Only thing I did was omit one chart repeat in the actual body of the hat.

I think my monitor at home is crazy bright compared to any I’m currently using. These pictures all look so DARK. Please comment if it’s dark on your screen too so I can adjust at home. I’ll get some better pictures of the recipient wearing this I promise.
I am currently working on quite a few diffrent hats because I am on sweater burn out & have lots of random 1 skein colorways to my name. Right now I am doing Dependence in Bobby Blue (looks like robins egg blue to me!) Malabrigo Mernio. I have about…7 more skeins of malabrigo in random colors so if you are so inclined to request a 1 skien project (hat, scarf, fingerless mits) let me know I’d be happy to whip those out for you.
In some random notes:
1. I saw a tow truck yesterday that literally had one car chained on top of another car it was towing. I tried to take a picture but alas, his load was too heavy to go my speed & I wasn’t about to be a dick to people behind me also trying to get to work.
2. I think I need to start going to a diffrent starbucks for my mid afternoon 1pt (on weight watchers) latte because I keep standing next to super model wanna-be’s. I have never felt so short & fat & ordinary in all my life.
3. A small hawk flew about 3 feet in front of my face this morning while I was walking up to work, it swouped up to a light pole & shook it’s but at me agressively. I again wish I had my camera.
4. I lost 4.8 pounds last week. Last night I had my first official weigh in at weight watchers & I seem to be doing good. I know weight watchers works, and I like rules so it’s a good fit for me. Almost 5 pounds in the first week. I’m pretty happy about that. My goal is to get back to my pre-wedding weight by Matt & my 5th anniversary this September. That’s about 35 pounds & I know I can totally do that. I have a much further long term goal but lets all celebrate the small victories.
