OK, so I didn't post for like a month. But I have a really, really good excuse. Here it is: I bought a house, painted the house, packed up my junk, moved it to the house, and am now unpacking in the house. Yay for house! Its pretty and its in Jenks and I love it! I painted my kitchen red. Bright red. I must knit some place mats to match either the red kitchen or the blue dishes. The guest bathroom is brown walls with navy and gold sun, moon, & stars stuff, so I must knit some chocolate brown and/or navy washcloths to put in there. The beautiful afghan that my knitting friends in Cali made me decorates the guest bed. :-) My room is tan with burgundy accents. I must knit some burgundy pillow covers for little accent pillows. So much to do! Well, I beter get back to work so I can pay for it all!
So I was on my way out the door to the St. Louis Cardinals game a couple nights ago when I realized I didn't have any purse size knitting on hand. I grabbed a ball of bernat chunky and a pair of size 10 16" circs out of my travel bag and stuffed them into my purse to contemplate at the game. I wanted something so super easy that by the time the game started I wouldn't have to think about it. I feel almost silly sharing this pattern, but I figured why not. So here is the hat: I don't really intend to turn up the edge to make a brim, but my model had trouble keeping it on otherwise. Its really stretchy and should fit almost any adult head. Its long enough to cover your ears, so if you really want a brim, go ahead and flip up the edge. Ok, here goes the pattern: Ridiculously Easy 3x3 Hat Yarn: I used Bernat Chunky Needles: Size 10 16" Circs or preferred method of knitting in the round CO 60 stitches and join for knitting in the round. Work in 3x3 rib for 7 inche

Congrats on the house. How far are you from work and from your parents'?
I did say washcloths! And of course I would accept any gifts of washcloths you wanted to send, but you all are in no way obligated to send anything. And I want you to know that the cloths everyone gave me as part of my going away present all have places of honor. There is a large stack in my bathroom near the shower so I can grab them easily, and some it the kitchen next to the sink so people can be envious of how I get to wash dishes with the coolest washcloths ever and some in the guest bathroom in a basket with miniature toiletries, in case you or anyone else decides to come visit!
