It was pretty amazing. Our city was a bit bonkers the rest of the evening. I fell asleep to the sound of the choppers between our neighborhood and the Civic Center.
Well, baseball allows one to keep your hands busy, and apparently series clinching games ups my knit pace.
I knit this with some scrap yarn from the EXACT same hat from a few years ago, but my son lost it, 'cause he liked it. Just like he lost my favorite handwarmers (The Kid is cut off this season of any handknits, especially mine!) I was worried about having enough yarn and did not add an extra inch like I thought I would, but it seems to fit my enormous noggin. Hats don't look that great on me, but that's okay, it's toasty and it may be the new security blanket for my head.
But I think I need to cast on another. I love this pattern.
Congrats on your big win! The game AND the hat.
ReplyDeleteYay...so happy for you and your team!
ReplyDeleteLove the hat. I need to make one of those. I hear you about menfolk and their issues with handknits. I've got a few that are cut off also for the same reason or for cruel and unusual knitwear abuse. They just don't get it.
Love it, and I'm glad your team won.
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE the hat.
ReplyDeleteLove the Freak, my favorite pitcher in all of baseball. I rooted for you!
Yes. Quite exciting. My initial hopes was for KC but the Giants were doing so well and were so crafty I was won over. I only caught 4 of the games and I like both teams but Congrats !
ReplyDeleteI love the Turn A Square too. I made one for my son when the pattern first came out. Now I must make another one.
Adding your blog to my blogroll. Have a Wonderful weekend !
I forgot this part. Your hat is really pretty and I look forward to making one for my daughter in lighter colors also.
ReplyDeleteLove the hat, and congrats to your team. I have to admit I was pulling for Kansas City as they have two fabulous pitchers on their team that used to be on my pathetic Rays.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

Yay, Giants! Way to go! Nice hat, too.
ReplyDeleteCute hat!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to use scraps.
ReplyDeleteCute hat. My daughter lost her handknit hat, lost one of a pair of mitts, and wouldn't wear the handknit homespun yarn I knit into a sweater. So she is cut off, except for the blanket I knit for her college dorm room, which she loves and uses nightly. But no more knit afghans! They take too long.
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific color combo. Splendid job. You look all college hip in your new beanie.
ReplyDeletelove you and love you in your new hat! You look cute and I enjoy patterns that are easy and fun and can be knit again and again.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the colors! I added that pattern to my queue.
