about my friend's hat....
   
So far, though, it's just these two really sad attempts at it.  
I promised a friend of mine that I'd knit him a hat a few months back and now that I have all the time in the world, I can finally do it.  
But, if I actually knitted the darn thing, it would take forever and it would be my 40th birthday before getting it done, since I'm most likely the world's slowest knitter.  Instead, I decided to crochet it, and it doesn't look that bad.        
I'm hoping the third time is the charm.  
Perhaps, if I start from the top and not the bottom, like I've been....    

And, upclose....
