Land of misfit knitting
I’m not sure why I continue to knit. I don’t have a lot of success at it, especially if I have to do math to get the item to fit right.
The hat pictured above is a Christmas present for my chemo loving, hair falling out dad.
I started it a while ago. As I was knitting it the first time, Jen looked at it over coffee with my running group and asked who it was for and what it was, because it was SOOOO big that it certainly could not be a hat.
So my second swing at it was going alright. But, as I was finishing it up last night, I began to wonder why it was not bigger and how on earth it was going to fit on his head.
Then I realized, I missed a whole section, THE BODY.
He’s getting it anyway…my dying father will LOVE it, because I made it.

I actually kind of like it.
Who needs body when you’ve got all that nice ribbing going for you? And it looks comfy.
It’s about time…a bad picture of YOU.
The look on your face is so perfect Mary. I love it.
