Olivia got her hat on time for her birthday! And it was a big hit both with her, her friends (she bragged about it on Facebook) and my family.
Crappy Photobooth picture, ahoy!
It really is nice to know that something I made with love (she’s the closest thing I’ve got to a little sister) is equally loved by the recipient. That’s what being “knit worthy” is about. I’m going to delve more into what “knit worthy” means but for now, it’s about being a gracious recipient and not being demanding. I tend to tune out when people (usually strangers!) say “You should knit me a(n) <insert object here>. ” If there are two words in the world that I hate it’s “you should…” It’s quite bossy and snotty. Particularly if you’re talking about my craft!
I’m so happy that the hat fits and has just enough slouch that she likes. For more wonderful FOs, check out Tami’s blog.

I know exactly what you mean when you say ‘knit worthy’. Like Suzy I’ve had people that I’m not friends with (I work with them) tell me to knit them a sweater saying they’ll ‘even pay for the yarn!’
The hat’s great on her!
It looks great and she does sound knitworthy.
That hat looks great! I am very tempted to knit this pattern. And I know what you mean about “knit worthy” – I knit for very few other people.
so nice to hear that it’s loved!
I think you’re exactly right about “you should”. I especially love when they “generously” offer to pay for the yarn. It’s such fun to watch their faces when you tell them the shawl has $60 worth of yarn in it…
Great Slouch! I agree about the whole knit worthiness. Not too many people qualify in my book.
The hat is lovely! I love the color and it looks so cute on.
