Winning and Losing
This battle I won. Fiona had a little chat with her dad this morning about how she wanted to play in the snow. "and dad, I'll wear pants, too." she says. She had a great old time playing/yelling at Jarvis. I think she lasted about 45 minutes before she decided it was too cold and wet.
This hat though, is a great big loser. Even on Simon it doesn't do much for me. It looks so cute on the model in the magazine and browsing Ravelry I never saw an ugly one, but on me it does NOT look cute. I think my head is too big, and this hat just adds pounds and pounds to my forehead that I don't want there. Sigh. I will rip and make Lochschal instead.
I'm going to go with the Best Friend Cardigan. I'm worried I will end up looking fat and frumpy, but I did find a Debbie Bliss Cable Blanket that I like so if the cardigan is a failure than the cat will end up a winner.
Also, I've finished my socks for the Sock-a-Month Knitalong, but I forgot to shave my legs, so lets do pictures of those tomorrow :-)
Well, Lochschal is a nice consolation, even if the hat is awful. :0) Good for you winning the clothing battle!

I just love that she wanted to play in the snow wanting to wear just her boots and coat!

Fiona's face says it all! Yay, snow! I'm so glad she said she'd even wear pants this time. :)

Sorry about the hat (though it is nice to know I am not the only one who ends up with loser projects). Can't wait to see the socks :)

Sad that the hat didn't work out. At least it's not something bigger, like a sweater. But look at that cutie you have! She's adorable.
