Some projects just don't end up they way you envision! This was supposed to be a hat for my Mom at Christmas. Instead, it's a horse feed bag turned upside down. Hey, it's warm, it's soft. It covers the head.
The problem is, I chose the wrong yarn to pull this one off. The original pattern called for pure Angora. Not my favorite to knit with, since the little hairs fly off and get into everything. But that would have made this hat airy and light. Instead I ended up with a giant sodden mushroom. Not chic. Very frumpy.
So, it's headed to the frog pond. Unless someone tells me they need a giant lightbulb cozy.

I suppose the angora would've made this floppy, which would have made all the difference...yeah, frog it, sister!
It was definitely worth it for these photos of you wearing it! :)
Awesome. It could also be used by Rastafarians for their natty dreds.
Ahahaha!
You STILL look cute in it :D
Looks like a felting-experiment waiting to be done !!
Oh wow! That is another heinous hat ... thanks for sharing. At least your light bulbs are warm.
you could cut eye holes and have a balaclava :P
my cat wants to live in your hat!
that would be, Cat in the Hat! ;)
Can you felt angora? I'd see about getting a hat form and see about felting that into a cloche or a funky top hat style. Just a thought.
