I have had many conversations over the last few days. And I admit I acted based solely on feelings of hurt and anger. I tend to get riled up and its been quite a week. I am sure that Shelley can understand emotional roller-coasters as it appears we have both sat through close family funerals this week. I have heard many different stories, some that all line up and some that don't. I have had conversations with both sides. And I still don't know how to feel. I no longer believe that her transgendered status was the only reason my friend was asked not to return to Loops but I also still wonder if it was a factor in the complaints received about her. I hate the bickering that has started and perhaps I should have waited until I was calmer to post. I do appreciate the open dialog that some of you were willing to have, which happened more by e-mail than by blog comments, so as I mentioned before, please e-mail me if you would like to discuss something. I will continue to talk to my friend and i would like to continue to knit with her also. I, myself, will be taking a break from Loops. I am not telling anyone else what to do, I just want a break. From all of this. Come on people, we all just want to knit.
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
