Update on Simple Cabled Hat

After a relatively easy trip back to Walla Walla (there was some fog, but other than that, smooth sailing), I arrive, hat in hand, ready to deliver it to my boyfriend, Curtis. Not surprisingly, I was a bit anxious about whether or not it would even fit onto his head, especially considering my issues with gauge and sizing before.

I was able to get it onto his head with virtually no trouble -- he did squirm a bit and was probably unhappy about being attacked from behind... The only problem was it was a little bit too short. It seems that while his head might not be particularly large circumference-wise, length wise is a different story. It's not so short that he won't wear it or that it looks funny, but he'd like it just a little bit longer. I'll post a picture as soon as I can get him to hold still long enough to take one.

Which means, ladies and gentlemen, that a new hat is in the works. Once I finish the other projects I have lined up that is. The new hat will have a cuff that way if it is too short, he can just unfold the cuff a bit and *PRESTO CHANGE-O* it'll be a bit longer.

But first I must complete in order:
** Quinn's (housemate) birthday surprise hat (which may or may not fit. since it's a surprise I can't exactly have her try it on. Birthday: January 31)
** Curtis's pot holders (he's using paper towels to get things out of the oven at the moment. very dangerous)

Projects lined up in no order:
** Sweater vest for Grandpa Jack's birthday
** Large complicated cabled scarf
** Fingerless gloves for Curtis
** Something wonderful for myself
** Something for Alixandra (other housemate)
