Love both the flowers and the hat. I want spring too!

It's kind of a shame, the plums only blossom for about a week, and then some wicked windstorm comes through & blows them away. This year, I finally got out and spent a day photographing them, as I'd been meaning to for ages.

The hat was really easy, I just modified what I'd learned off this YouTube series (link to first steps):

I should get you to make me a boss hat. Been thinking about a hat like that since I rewatched that Lisa Hannigan video (I kinda love her hat in that one). I need something to throw over my hair when I walk the girl out in the morning and I haven't showered, and my hair is doing its level best to stick up in all kinds of crazy directions in defiance of gravity. Which, aggravatingly enough, it won't do when I actually want it to.

Oh, and speaking of dubstep... I saw this and giggled and thought of you. And then thought, huh, need to look into this genre more, so I can get what it's about. Honestly, I fail at genres ( ... )

God I love you. I think you saved my ass reminding me about DST last year, and you just did it again.

And the boss hats are freakin' perfect for those "fuck everything about this day and my hair too" days. I'm currently working on a wider weave pattern, for cotton summer wear beanies. The acrylic ones are getting a tad warm out here. Stand by, I'll send you a link to me modeling a boss hat for a certain person who requested one (cue 13-year-old squealy moment eeeee!). It's huge on me, should fit the customer alright though. But you'll get an idea how they fit.

I am your time-change alarm clock. :)

That kind of hat is exactly it. And the one you're modeling looks really good- that person is sure to dig it, big time. Nice color, nice weave... boss hat is a very accurate description. It didn't even look too big, unless it really just flops around on your head when you don't have a hand on it. I like how it covers everything but your face. That's more or less what I wish for, most morning. I've been wearing one of my dad's baseball caps, backwards, and I'm sure that's only a tiny step up from the wacked-out hair look.

Heh, backwards ball caps are pretty boss too, long as you're not a fratboy. I can do one similar to that grey-green one in the above pic, which is a sweet lightweight thin weave (though I was pretty blazed when I did the pattern, not sure I could replicate it), or do one like the gift hat (which was done in thick fox yarn), if you like. They're remarkably stretchy, and I tend to make them to below my ears. You can wear 'em straight down like that, tug 'em back, or roll them a bit in back or front. All sorts of looks from one hat, that's why they're Boss.

Or hey, I'll just send you a pile of hats of all sorts and that will solve both our problems. ;D
