So the first hat is done (as in knit, blocked, pattern written and tested), but outside is encrusted in an alarmingly thick layer of the worst glitter, and I am not going outside in that for pictures (pictures in the snow are both harder to take and never that cute when I take them). So of course it seems reasonable to cast on another version of this hat.

This time with a folded brim. Which, though I dearly love wearing, is always a bit of a gut punch to knit because you go from ‘look this is like six inches tall, it’s practically done’ to ‘huh, yeah, well I’m sure I’ll get it done eventually.’

But oh, oh it’s going to be grand to wear.
