Am I going to block this, then fix the goofy bit, then block it again? Yup. Because that’s the best way to make the fix damn near invisible, and because blocking takes all of 2 minutes of active effort (get it wet, squeeze it out, plop it over the hat form, smooth it out) and because it’s finally cold enough that even I, Ice Princess Supreme, She of the Warm Woolly Sweaters, have finally turned the damn heat on (to a perfectly respectable 55, thank you very much, because frozen pipes are no fun at all) so it dries in no time at all when set on a heating vent.

But I’m also going to take FULL advantage of any opportunity to show off pretty hat on the hat form, so have some gratuitous hat pics. Just because I want to.
