Never do anything until you have to. Not quite a motivating principle, I’d guess; more of a way of life.

I finished this on Thursday:

I could have easily finished it on Wednesday, but didn’t. It sat there all evening waiting for me to finish that last bit of black at the crown, which you cant see in this shot.

I also could have taken shots of it on Thursday since that black bit took little or no time.

But I didn’t.

Here’s a shot of the hat being worn.

While the hat is for J, this is not J, who probably would not pose with the hat. C’est moi.

Hat III is Debbie Bliss baby cashmerino in alternating rows of purple and black, knit on a #2 Addi Turbo and #2 Addi dpn’s.

BTW, I started out caring about the jag where I switched colors, but decided I preferred the look of the jag to the alternatives.

The weather is not appropriate for such nice hats, so that will go into the closet until late fall.

Despite the heat, the weekend was great for biking. An hour and three quarters yesterday, just under that today. My ankles, calves, knees, and thigh muscles are beat. And I made three trips out into the heat to shop after that. Still didn’t cook. Too muggy.

And, for you doubters, now that the dpn’s are free, I’ve started the other sock.
