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.

You went to Forks! You drove within 3 blocks of my house!
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. 🙂

You are so pretty! I love the hat! I wish I was that photogenic!
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!
