An Alpaca Hat for Zach

By -

 Made Zach a Rowan hat with mistakes.
Ripped it out because he wore it with mistakes and it drove ME crazy.
Reknit the hat in Rowan with a perfect crown.
Zach prefers slouch hats. 
Gave that one to Fireman. 

Went to My LYS Saturday.
7 photo texts later Zach and I agree on a yarn color. 

Green.
Rowan Alpaca. 
SO SO warm. 

Knit Zach another hat. 
Good to go!

I love a slouchy hat! My husband prefers a watch cap style. I dunno what The Kid likes, something he won't lose I suppose! Great job Kathy! I bet that Alpaca is super soft!

It's not easy knitting for the menfolk. They know what they like and that's that. Since I started a cardi for Son, The Mister has been making noises about me making him a sweater next. Arghhh.....

Great hat, great model! A friend and I were talking about the same thing in class yesterday - how much others enjoy our projects and never even notice the mistakes that we can't NOT see and make us crazy! Must be universal. 😋

Good work on the hat! Mistakes bug me, too, but in our quilt group the saying is, "If you can't see it from 30 feet on a galloping horse, it's fine!" Great pumpkin, too.

 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 ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
