Knitting for giants
I am knitting the most boring hat in all of creation. It's a black folded-brim hat in stockinette stitch, with a couple of hideously bright green stripes as trim. It looks like a hat you'd buy for $5 on clearance. I promised my friend with the enormous head that I'd knit him a hat, though, and he selected the colors and style.
And in case that "enormous head" thing sounds too mean...His head is 27"!!! The average human head runs 22"-24". I consider MY head to be huge -- I'm at about 23.5", and I can only rarely ever put on "ONE SIZE" hats in most stores. So, yeah. His head is huge, and he's never had a winter hat that fit him. So I'm knitting and knitting and knitting this thing that currently looks like a small sweater. Seriously, his head is bigger around than my sister's waist is!!
I have to finish it, though, because I want these needles for another project I'm anxious to start. Also, because I'm getting really bored with the endless stockinette in black superwash wool.
