Wow, it certainly got brutally cold here again in upstate New York! This morning upon leaving my house it was -5 F. While that isn’t record-breaking temperatures here it is still cold, even if I have lived here most of my life.
I had a startling realization as I knocked snow off my head, while climbing into the car. I am a knitter and I do not own a hat!! How is this possible?! Everyday I make sure that my kids have their hats and mittens on before leaving the house, yet I walk out without a thought to my own head. So I have decided it is time to knit myself a hat. 🙂
I checked out my queue on Ravelry (which is far longer than it should be) to find a pattern, and my queue did not fail me. Subconsciously I must have been longing for a hat, for there were several hat patterns that I had tagged for myself throughout the years. However, most of these patterns required fingering weight yarn (something that I don’t have an abundance of in my stash). I hemmed and hawed for a while on whether or not to find the perfect yarn online and order it. But a voice of reason inside my head said “Silly girl by the time the yarn gets here and you knit the hat spring will be arriving!”.
So I have decided on knitting myself Sanpo. I have a lot of worsted weight yarn on hand and I am on a stranded knitting kick. 😉
Not Just a Knit Wit 
Lovely blog dear!!!!!!!! I’m following you!!! A big kiss from Florence!!!
Thank you for the wonderful comment. 🙂
I knit but don’t wear hats, hate hat hair!! My family all say I’m mad but there you have it, I’d rather have a cold head than flat hair. I do however wear the occasional headband
I have also had a strange aversion to hats. I wear a hat all day at work so hat hair is a non issue. I just don’t think I look as cute in a hat as others do.
That hat is AWESOME. Do you have your color scheme picked out? I knit myself a hat this fall, and I wear it constantly. I think it’s a sign I should knit more.
I am thinking about doing it in grey and pink. I agree if you love your hat that much it is a sign you should make yourself more awesome things. 🙂
