Thank you, everybody, for your thoughtful words.
To misquote Robert Frost wildly out of context, meantime, Ice (yesterday) was great and did suffice. I tested my hands today with a row, then another, then another, and after a day of it, hey, I had a hat!
It wasn’t till I was snapping its picture that it hit me. I’d been making the thing up as I went along, and the pattern is similar to the one I doodled with to create the first baby sweater I ever knitted for my first baby, 28 years ago. Great mind thinks alike.
Time to grab the needles to knit something for Parker next. I *so* can’t wait to see him and his proud parents.

Pretty! For the first time since I moved here I’ve actually been cold enough to be inspired to knit a hat for myself – I’m halfway there and should be done soon.
I hope that someday when he’s old enough, that his parents will be willing to visit the shop with you so we can meet Parker too!

Comment by LauraN 01.13.11 @ 7:38 amI love the hat, and the color. Very becoming.
As for Parker, ever see Jane’s hat in Firefly? Now that is a warm, warm hat!

I hope you get to go visit your son and his family soon and that you have a very safe trip when you do, both of you. 🙂
