Knitted this hat very quickly using the free pattern found here: http://acunningplan.typepad.com/andsheknitstoo/patterns/silk_garden_beanie.html
The colorway (no. 201) is mostly deep blues/grays/browns... despite the pinkish tone of this picture. There's a little circle of plum at the very top of the hat, though!
I actually had some left over - maybe enough for another round or two in the body which might just have made it long enough for me.
BUT....it did turn out to be the right size for the teacher across the hall from me's husband who is currently hairless due to chemo to treat essentially terminal esophogeal cancer. And he likes it! And he wears it! And it keeps his head warm!
Which, after all, is the main purpose of a hat!

Um, yea....ya kinda had to be there....but apparently, it's true! Pee-yer-pants-funny, but true! Also pee-yer-pants-funny: "PUT IT DOWN!!!!" " Oh, were you talking to ME?"
As noted above, you had to be there. And if you missed it, you simply MUST join us next time - we had WAAAAAAY too much fun. And food. Lots and lots of food.

1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 t. lemon juice

Cream together: sugar, one egg, lemon juice, and cream cheese.
Put on top of baked crust. Crumble reserved crust mix on top.
Bake for 15 miuntes.
