Comments: This is an interesting pattern! It's so fun to knit too. A good practice pattern for improving your stranded color knitting skills.

Most people are putting tassels on theirs. I went with a nice good size pompom.

The bottom band covers a section of 2 by 2 rib so it will fit better. Wouldn't want the wind blowing it off a fisherman's head.

Being a knitter, I must show off the inside.

What am I going to do with this? I don't wear hats, as a rule. Or maybe a preference. Won't work for KnitWits either cuz it's hand wash only. I guess I'll save it for posterity for the time being until I decide who needs a warmer head.

I said I'd post a pic of the dog sweater I've started for Zoey. This is gonna be so easy after what I've been knitting lately.

I need to finish those mittens I started. I think I'll work on them tonight.

We've had a 5 minute weather day today, though on the chilly side. Come on spring! You can do it!

Live long and prosper. \\//
