alex is a very tall, blonde, reubenesque artists' model who also works in the office where i work. it's a pretty big office, and sometimes if you mention alex and just say "alex", people aren't sure who you mean -- until you say "big". then they know.
she just had a baby named mya grace, and i wanted to make a hat appropriate to what i knew about alex. since the last time i saw her she was morbidly pregnant and wearing a purple shag sweater, i decided to use some of my "secret stash" handspun -- and a "button pie" button that i had been saving for something good.
i haven't seen alex or the baby yet, so the hat is being modeled by a doll i have had for many years -- known affectionately as "that doll" or "oh my god that thing scared the crap out of me" by people who are just running into her -- having made the wrong turn looking for the bathroom, perhaps. okay, she's kinda spooky, but she doesn't eat much. and if a hat fits her, then it's a baby-sized hat: i don't get more specific than that.
yeah, and i see, my doll's arm is coming off.
