there are those of you reading who know me well enough to know that bleu cheese is a very, very important part of my life.
i can't remember exactly when i said to myself "i wish to knit a baby hat that looks like a small, artisinal bleu cheese," but i definitely said it.
in this case, not only did i knit it -- i spun it, i felted it, and i dyed it with indigo from my own indigo plants using a semi-shibori technique. (do you hear the implied "beat that!" in that statement of fact?)
i thought i might have to wait awhile for a progressive enough set of parents to come along to put this hat on their baby boy (i wanted it to be a boy's hat). i didn't have to wait long at all. this is going to kori and herry's new baby, who last i heard wasn't named yet. i am hoping they will like it. i know i'd love to see the baby in it. i do realize that my current model -- now nicknamed "murder baby" -- is a little on the stephen king side. anyhoo, i think i'm finished with my baby hat knitting spurt.
