hat
November 8, 2011
I made a hat.
It has my initials on the inside AND a tassel.
It’s too dorky to wear to work, so I wear it on the weekends, and in the evenings after work when my house is all dark and hasn’t warmed up yet from cooking dinner, and sometimes in the mornings right after I get out of bed and before I have to start getting ready for work. It’s a shiny tinfoil hat that shields me from dangerous daylight savings-related mood flux.
I love it a lot.
That is all. Except for this. But how do you even bring that up, you know?
Yes winter!!!

whaaaaaaaaat yay! I don’t comment a lot here but I love your blog and am inexplicably excited to see that photo you linked to.
also that hat is awesome.
agreed on all accounts!
Every girl should have a hat like that. I have a hat that I wear when I’m feeling rainy inside, and it makes it all better. Moreover, I have dropped said hat numerous times, and someone always returns it to me. I like to think that in addition to chasing away moodiness, it is also loyal. I haven’t the faintest idea how to knit one for myself, though, so touche on that.
And congrats, congrats
What a lovely surprise.
Wow, congrats! Love your blog and that hat is awesome, where did you learn to knit like that??
WHOA.
at least you didn’t post the thing on your blog. thank you for not posting the thing. or, like, your pee stick or whatever.
♥ ♥ ♥
Birth pictures. Professionally lit. All close on the business. Stay tuned.
Hah! That is awesome. CONGRATS!!
Cute hat… I wish I had the patience for knitting. Instead I intend to rule the world with my sewing machine.
Awesome hat! And CONGRATULATIONS!
Is the hat double lined? The initials and year always impress me. I selfishly hope this blog stays true to bees, chickens, plants, and wallpaper.
It’s a tube! It’s Meg Swanson’s Dubbelmosa. Here’s the ravelry link You just poke in one end so it fits on your head, but you can make it a long hat or a short one or and fold it up to four thicknessess if you, you know, don’t live in California. It’s wizardry.
And the other thing– we shall never, ever speak of it again.
hello…
aw yay!
sneaky
I was WONDERING when you were going to announce it here!
also, I might need to commission you to knit me a hat. Because my big head + big hair make it really, really hard for me to buy ones off the rack that fit, and my knitting skillz are nowhere close to yours.
The total, total magic of selective posting– you can grow a huge belly and be moody and maybe let your house become a total mess and keep wearing the same pair of pants that still fit over and over again even though they’re all ripped up and have paint and yesterday’s breakfast on them and NOBODY GETS TO KNOW about any of it unless you want them to.
I knit you a hat, you help me figure out what color to paint my bathroom?
that pretty much sounds like the *best deal ever* (for me!) we can talk about it over lunch
Best Stealth Announcement Ever! Love you (and the ferment).
Agree with this old guy…can’t wait
How exciting! Just the other day I was thinking that you are blogging wayyy less than usual, like my other fave blogger, Novella Carpenter did just before she popped up with the same news! I wondered… Hooray for babies!
HOLYSHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That hat is amazing. I wish I had knitting skills like that. Or at all, really.
And congratulations!!!
yeah! Such a happy news and such a cute way of announcing. I love you blog. It’s so cute and so is that hat!
Great hat! Love the colorwork and tassels!
And Congrats!!! What exciting news!
Congrats!
Congratulations!! (on the hat AND the wee one!!)
When I was pregnant, a million years ago… my mother in law (a most extraordinary knitter) told me she was going to knit a bunting for the baby… the only bunting I knew of was the patriotic swags at political conventions, etc… so I figured my wee little fellow would be swathed in red, white and blue decorations… imagine my delight upon receiving a blue bunting with yellow ducks, holding red umbrellas… paddling in the water!!
An Easter Egg. Nicely done.
Well played, btd.
Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Best announcement ever, you sly thing.
Nicely done. And congratulations. xx
Congratulations! I love the surreality of blogland. Thanks for the peep into your world.
I agree with Rachel (heart of light)! Thrilled for you!
there is nothing dorky about that best – that’s an impressive piece of craft. and congratulations!
can i just say that i’m more than ecstatic about this subtle announcement! and my smile was a little bigger because THE wine cork played a key role in the story-telling photo.
congratulations. no doubt, the grandfather-to-be i adore so deeply will be the BEST grandpa {or whatever he shall go by} EVER!
I never comment here but I love your blog. My first is 14 months now. Its basically the best, hardest and most rewarding thing I’ve ever done. So big, huge, gargantuan congrats on your bean! I wish you the best in this amazing journey!!
hah. love it! i’m all for bees & chickens, but wouldn’t mind hearing things now and again about that sneaky thing.
I have also been noticing the lack of posts. What an exciting and clever way to announce the news, without… you know, announcing it? Congrats again!
AND THAT HAT. THAT HAT IS AMAZING.
