This is another hat for Brie. She picked out a lot of slouchy hats, and I found this one which is sooo pretty, so I figured I'd give it a go. Plus I had red Pima Tencel in my stash (which was originally going to become a tank top--oh well). This is definitely the girliest hat I've made for her. :)


I'm definitely going to make one for myself out of wool. Because Brie's is out of cotton, it doesn't have as much stretch (especially in the cables) so it's a little tight on my head, but my head is big anyway.

As a side note, my hibiscus plant bloomed again today. It was pretty fitting, since the size I chose to make (small) makes a 5 petal flower on the crown of the hat, and the hibiscus has 5 petals, and both are very very red.


And here's Cece. She's been sleeping on my empty backpack a lot lately. She has a weird obsession with backpacks--she claims the crap out of Mike's, and then will roll around on it and attack it.
