FO: Helmet Head

Been done. For a longlonglong time.
But my dad just uploaded the pictures yesterday, so it's not my fault (entirely)!


He couldn't love it more :)

Funny story about finishing this, actually. Originally I was going to add a brim, which would require some plastic. Well weeks went by without me acquiring any plastic, and my dad was too eager to wait and just started wearing it as-is. He now claims he likes it more without a brim because it fits under his helmet better.

ABOUT THE PATTERN: it was very simple to make, so I didn't bother writing anything down. However, if you would like a sort of recipe to make a similar hat, comment here or message me on Ravelry.

That's all for now!

FINALLY

Traditions by Debbie Mumm for Jo-Ann in Heather Haze

Beautifully soft and a lot cheaper than Noro ;)

Serenity Sport Weight by Deborah Norville Collection for Premier Yarns in Cafe au Lait

Lovely color and such a great deal I couldn't resist stocking up :D

It's too bad I made a vow to actually finish something before I break these in. *sigh*
BUT WHO CARES I HAVE NEW YARN!!!

Did you ever…

get into that mood where you obsessively look for patterns online because you are lazy and don't feel like finshing stuff you already started and get into that mood where you MUST CAST-ON NOW but you don't have the needle sizes specified and then you realize that doesn't matter as long as you get gauge so you're relieved somewhat and then you realize you really don't want to cast-on anything because at the moment all the yarn you own is uninspiring and so you look online for beautiful pictures of beautiful yarn you don't have and really want to have but you are poor and your schedule is full and trying to keep you away from it?

In conclusion, if I don't go yarn shopping soon, I might just kill myself.
