Well, folks, April 15th has come and gone. And I am soooooo happy. My weekends will be my own again. My workdays will end at reasonable hours and will not follow me home. And best of all I can sit in front of the tv and knit and not think about all the work I brought home that I need to do. Last night I went and got a pedicure with my mom. It was wonderful. I took some knitting I was working on and made good use of the relaxing time. Then after a healthy (thats our new goal) home cooked meal with Ben I got to sit down and knit some more. Even though I was just working on small things, it felt so good to just be able to knit guilt free. Tonight I even get to go see my thursday night knitting group for the first time in a month or more. Its seriously been forever. It is with a great sense of relief and joy and little flowers on my cute blue toesies that I go forth and greet the day today.
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
