Loops computer crashed. Which means they lost their giftcard info. Which sucks because a) I had $100 in Loops cards, of which I had only spent about $15 and b) Mom has a card she can't find right this second. Why does this suck so much? Because they are asking everyone to redeem their giftcardsin 30 days by bringing either the little folder they came in (which I seriously doubt I kept) or a reciept for any partially used cards that would show the balance left on the card (also doubt I kept). I was saving the cards until I decided on a specific project so I could get all the yarn at once, now I feel like my hand is being forced. IF I can find the folders and the reciept I have to go in and use them quick, which is like bieng forced to pick something, even if its not the right something. The whole point of waiting was to be sure I got something I really, really wanted and now I have to pick from what they have right now. I guess I won't complain too much until I go look and I know its not their fault, but if I lose all this money because I didn't keep the little folders the cards came in, I'm going to be seriously upset.
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
