Knit My Dog

...Glacier, actually. Rowan Cashsoft DK. Grumperina's Odessa pattern.

I didn't alter the size at all, and it does not fit my big squash (23.5 inches). We have big heads in my family, hats never fit, and look goofy too. I pretty much knew it wouldn't fit and wouldn't be for me, but I wanted to knit this pattern and try my hand at knitting with beads. I bought the beads first (I love the sparkly blueness of them) then matched the yarn on line.

While knitting, I was thinking that it would look good on my Aunt Mary. She's the sweetest woman, probably 80? years old, legally blind, and cute as can be. I thought she'd love the so soft yarn and the feel of the beads throughout her hat. So I was knitting away, thinking of Aunt Mary, and asked Howie what he thought about the hat - who it would look good on. He looked at me and said "The only person I can think of that it would look good on is Aunt Mary." How weird is that? So it's going to Aunt Mary in the mail this week.
