Kiss My Knits!

Sorry, I’ve calmed down now. The hat thing is not a big deal. It was just a long day.

And hey, guess what brought me from Davidson? Another skein of yarn in the same color that I needed for that final sweater sleeve! Ten rows later, it’s ready to be blocked, have the collar added, and be seamed. YAY! Thank you, !

Illiane also gave me the gift that keeps on giving: by coming into my home, I was able to see it as if I were seeing it for the first time, which gives me a leg up on getting it cleaned. I’m also going to contact the fellow Browncoat for whom I’m holding some stuff and see when I can get it the heck out of my house. I’ve got enough clutter of my own, I don’t need to import more.

Hats up for: CA, UT, PA.

ARGH! Knitty just published this, but I thought of this years ago! Honest! Look how similar mine is, below, paired with a matching kid’s scarf! I modified the pattern and I even experimented with a flowerpot-type sleeve to go around the bit at the top, and was going to write it up. Then the Jayne hat biz exploded.

Of course I don’t have pictures to back me up, that would be too easy. Iocanthe bought the original in 2004! Look, there she is! She’ll vouch for me!

But now, can I ever make and sell mine and have anyone believe that I didn’t copy Knitty? AARRRGH!

AAAAAARRRRGGGGGHHH!!!

(ETA: I didn’t say before, although I thought I had, but I did think of adding a flower to the top, and that’s what cheesed me off. Guess I shoulda written it up sooner, eh?)
