An Imperfectionist

By -
 Whoa.  No one expected the benches to clear in the Pirate Cub series.   We all expect such things at Cardinal Cub games however. 
Hooray Cubs!  We are in the Play offs.!!!!  Now we have to beat the Cardinals.

While In Door County I asked a man who was tending to a garden if he knit his hat.  He said, no, but his wife did. 
I can see it is a top down hat and I haven't made one this way in a long time.

If you look closely you may see a tiny imperfection in the brim, but I'm not one to criticize. 
He has obviously worn this hat well and warmly.
 

Zach asked for a new hat.  His has a little imperfection in the ribbing, but I was not about to start over.  I told him to be sure to wear that part in the back.  
So here he is wearing it in the front. 
I hope he wears it well and warmly.

Hooray for the cubs. Sadly I am a native St. Louisan. I guess we can't be pretend friends until after those games are over.

Guys don't care about imperfections in brims.. as long as it keeps their noggin warm. I'm happy your team is winning.. I hope they go all the way. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)

Way to go, Cubs! I rarely follow sports, so without your posts, I wouldn't have a clue who was in the playoffs.

I hate to admit it but I was so thrilled by the Cubs I cried. Some things are worth crying over!!

That's not an imperfection on Zach's hat, it is a carefully planned design element.

Woo hoo Cubs!
What a sweet man to wear that hat. I knit, knit, knit for guys and they never wear anything I make even when they ask for it.

maybe he stretched his hat too much....I love how you analyzed the hat. I always knit brim to top as well as cuff down socks, I'm so old school....

I love that he is wearing it with pride with the imperfection in front. Joe is a genius isn't he? Amazing manager, go CUBS!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I have been knitting, but not making things.  6. MY gardens are growing.  I have 3 main areas I

  These are the one square bunnies .  They are a free pattern on Rave1ry.  I'm bunny making to force spring to come.  I'm a1so taking it easy on my hands again.  The med we tried did keep my hands from shaking, but it was a med for a med. and that's crazy town.  I can contro1 a hook much better than need1es.  It wi11 have to suffice for now.  I'm enjoying your b1ogs and your Spring.  This time of year I so want to 1ive in a southern state.  But this Spring is a new one for me and I'm going to find a way to 1ove it.   IT may have just gotten to 50.   Degrees.  I have to run.  There's very ear1y yardwork to do.   The birds have 1eft a rotten mess of sunf1ower she11s under the feeders.  I hope it is not frozen!  Have you been switching things up in your neck of the woods?   I haven't forgotten you, b1og pa1s.  I 1ove seeing you on Instagram .

Do You Smile When You Knit???

I am pretty sure I smile when I knit.  I'm going to think about that today when I pick up the baby blanket in progress.  I am also pretty sure I cry when I knit; well, not really.  I have shed some tears over the years but they were way back.  I surely scowl when I drop a stitch.   A time lapse of knitters' faces would be interesting enough .... Tank, aka Helo, is starting to smile around here.  Just look into those aqua eyes......they make me smile all the time. He is half Siamese and all gorgeous.
