baker's doz: ugly hat for uglier person!

eric's hat

first finished project of 2013! i cast on the day after christmas... mere hours after i swore i "quit knitting" HAHAHA. well, i didn't quit knitting. good thing since my yarn stash already contains five planned projects for this year and i have three still on needles from last year.

anyways, this is for my brother. i was knitting it in front of him, for him, and talking about how much i thought it was ugly and hideous and throwing it out was the only right thing to do with it, all while i didn't tell him it was for him. it was silly and hilarious. i knit him a hat years ago but he lost it and was pretty bummed out. now i'm sending this -probably not that much of a surprise- hat along with db on the snowboarding trip they have planned. surprise! warm head that looks AWESOME!

good thing there's no way he'll read this.

-details-
one skein brown sheep lamb's pride bulky in "orange you glad" (i think)
pom pom made with the blue clover pom pom maker from the large pack
pattern - i made it up! if you're into it i can send it along, it's wicked simple. free ravelry download maybe?
