A rain forest hat?

An interesting thing happened over the weekend. I was online, and I saw a hat pattern. The hat pattern had a flicker group. In the flicker group there was a photo of the hat that excited me. I ran to the stash to get some Kathmandu Aran. Why? Because aside from being a cool hat, it TOTALLY reminds me of the Hoh Rain Forest Nate and I just visited. Specifically the nurse logs.

I needed the hat. And now I have one.

It’s a very tall hat, probably because I was using bigger needles than called for, and so I didn’t mind when I had to cut 10 rows to avoid running out of yarn.

It’s neat that I happened upon the pattern so soon after our trip. It’s like I have my own, personal souvenir from the rain forest.

And that makes me happy.

    That hat is fabulous. It really does look like moss and rain forest! Can’t wait to hear more about your trip.

    I don’t think I would ever have associated my pattern with a rainforest if I hadn’t seen this post. I’m glad it turned into a souvenir. 🙂

    I hope you are feeling better! I used to have issues with my kidneys all the time. No fun! Take care and drink cranberry juice!
