I&#8217;m choosing &#8220;Freak Flag&#8221; as a name for it, as it is more marketable than some others which occurred to me, such as &#8220;Detached Retina&#8221; &#8220;Bad Trip&#8221; and &#8220;Klown Kollege Kegger.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I mock myself because I realize that this could go on <a href=\"http:\/\/youknitwhat.blogspot.com\/\">You Knit What?<\/a> very easily.  I cringe at doing something so &#8220;out there,&#8221; and yet&#8230; I really, really like it.  I can&#8217;t wear it, but I like it.  I really have no idea why.  Perhaps I&#8217;m being controlled by a psychotic killer sheep.  Regardless, this is totally going up on http:\/\/www.wearwithstyle.com for sale.<\/p>\n<p>If loving sixties flashbacks is wrong, I don&#8217;t wanna be right.  Next up, a very calming black hat.<\/p>\n<p>Also: Jayne hat on the needles for New Hampshire, then Indiana, Norway, and a blue scarf as a prize won by someone in <lj user=panzermama>&#8216;s baby pool!  Hmm&#8230; I wonder if I could convince GM Alvy to wear &#8220;Freak Flag&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><i>P.S.<\/i> You all know I have a thick skin.  Snark will not offend me.
