What was supposed to be a quick and easy hat is giving me a headache.  Today was the third rip and re-knit and I’m still not happy.  Although the logo looks better in solid purple, the outline is giving me fits.  I’ve tried one, two and three strands…none of which look good.  Besides that, I tried it on and the logo is way too big!  Hrmph!  Just when I started to think maybe I am some kind of knitting “diva” stupid old acrylic continues to bite me in the a** (still try to keep it rated G around here although anyone that knows me “IRL” would probably have a good laugh at that).

On a serious note, I’d like to thank Marin for pointing out the Stitch Diva fundraiser sale.  Stitch Diva Studios is offering 25% off patterns today and tomorrow only with 75% of the profits going to Evan (Allison’s son with hypothalamic hamartoma) and Gerry (Annie Modesitt’s husband who is battling multiple myeloma).  I’ve been eyeing Sahara and Goddess for a while and I’m glad I’ve waited until now to purchase.  You can also donate directly to their causes at their websites.
