The ‘Dozer’s hat is finished, and almost completely sewn up. But, disaster struck in the form of decoration.
You see, I was looking at his hat and decided it needed a little-somethin’-somethin’, and wanted to decorate the crown, so I began a bit of Greek edge embroidery. And it looked bad.
Admitting defeat, I cast it aside – so that I can look at it with fresh eyes – and checked the old blog here; finding English Mum had taken a shine to my green hat, and might like one for her winter walks with Bert, I set to work whipping her up a funky Rocket Hat.
I’ve a soft spot for English Mum and so found it easy to use my favourite wool for her, and her keeness for pinkness. Nothing else would do, as her last blog banner was pure rock chick. But her blog’s new incarnation is quite angelic and demure looking. So, fingers crossed: here’s hoping she and her young men will still enjoy my punk over-tones (I have a bit of a thing for the punk aesthetic, and secretly wouldn’t mind sporting a fakey mowhawk. Hmm, maybe I could knit one?).
Anyway, I better not put off rescuing my brother’s birthday hat any longer.. where’s the scissors?

You’re welcome EM !
Ha ha ha, thanks Jay. Yes, it’s a hard lesson to learn at times, but fresh eys make all the difference. The ‘Dozer’s hat is splendid now, thanks for asking. I’ll put a pic up of in a tic.
Oh dear… cousin rivalry.. what have I done?
Ha ha, Taffy’s Mum got you a good one there Moon!
I am in touch with my feminie side, I look good in pink thank you very much !!!!
shame I can’t type very well !
I love the pink variety too – perhaps with purple overtones!!!
Still raining here BUT I managed to splash my way to the post office yesterday – let me know when they arrive????
Pink’ll clash with your ginger hair Moon – that’s if you’ve got any left – it’s been a while since I saw you!!!!
Aussie – ignore him, I’m far more important. Tee hee! xxx
@ Taffy’s Mum: nice one!!
Blimey, I just got told off by your blog. It gave me a blank screen which said
YOU ARE POSTING COMMENTS TOO QUICKLY. SLOW DOWN.
OOOOOoooooohhhhhh moooooooooddy!!!!!
Ha ha ha, Kate’s on to me. I have some lovely pale pink and soft purple wool, that would make a delightfully soothing rocket hat. But, I just can’t imagine you’d have the weather for a rocket hat, Moon? Would one come in handy when you’re golfing perhaps?
English Mum, I put a congratulations comment on your blog, but it does seem to be there. Anyway, I tried to say that it’s wonderful news, you must be excited, and I think your Husband’s a keeper. xxx
English Mum is pretty special. And is part of a pretty spiffy family. Will Bugs want a rocket hat too?
Moody, ha ha ha ! English Mum, I’ve never known a blog to say that to anyone before. I think I’ve managed to let people comment without moderation now.. perhaps that will help.
Aw thanks, Oz. You’re welcome to come if you’re up for the journey – we could have a bloggy reunion!! x
Oh I don’t know about that – the winter is on its way – God knows where summer went – and its a long walk from the car park to the office!!!! x
