a true triumph.

will now wear a hat. this lovely hat for which he helped choose the pattern and yarn. (it's an anna zilboorg toque in rowan kid classic, and noro kureyon, but i know not many actual knitters read this page, so who would care?) the important thing is, it's lovely, it's warm, and he loves it.
this hat, by the way, kicks off The Year Of Selfish Knitting. we decided that, in 2003, everything i knit would be for the two of us or the house. we just got a new couch that needs pillows and afghans, and we are going to paris in the fall and need to be, if not drop dead fashionable, at least comfortable and serviceable. i love to knit gifts, but i never know when to stop -- and for all i know, everyone's SICK of my knitted gifts! so this year is for us, and this hat starts it all off.
