Magical blog with entries about my life

In my bio I joke about knitting hats that don’t fit anyone. You may have thought I was joking; I was not.

Below is photographic evidence (Exhibit A) of two (2) hats I knitted last year. These hats are known as “Goldilocks Hats.”

Hat #1 was my first effort. By adding extra stitches, I was hoping to modify the pattern enough to successfully accommodate Jason’s huge noggin. Even with my casual adjustments, the hat was still quite, um, tiny. Tiny enough that Jason could easily propel the hat off his head by squinting his eyes or wriggling his eyebrows. Also, there was a giant hole in the top of the hat, allegedly due to a certain someone’s lack of seaming ability.

Hat #2 was modified even further by adding even more stitches. So many stitches, in fact, that it was way too big. And although I had figured out how to close the gaping hole at the top, my seaming skills still appeared to belong to a spastic monkey.

Of course, now that I finally learned how to create an invisible seam, I haven’t knitted a hat since.
