Fair Isle Knitting, Not Kansas Knitting
This is not a blog entry about the University of Kansas men’s basketball team winning the NCAA championship after twenty long years*, that tie-making, three-point shot (me screaming wildly) that sent the game into overtime and then the glorious, sweet taste of victory. No, this is not what this blog entry is about.
Instead, this is an entry on the completed Fair Isle Hat! (Pattern specs via Ravelry.)
We’ve been having a cold spring here in NYC so this hat is being put to good use. (Notice the sweatshirt - rock chalk jayhawks!)
Here are the obligatory various-point-of-view shots -
And for a different attitude, Darren turns up the brim -
*How scary is it that I remember exactly where I was when we won in 1988? It was my college spring break and I was in Fort Lauderdale, wearing a sparkly, red bathing suit and when we won I ran around the house whooping it up!
