Who got a working pass? Louise did! (Louise was my Grandma Weaver's name, which is why I picked it out of the Hyatt name tag bag. One of her signature phrases was, "Oh, Boy." That came to mind often this weekend, as in, Oh, boy, this is intolerably loud.)
It's no secret that I often take jobs just because I think they're interesting, and that was certainly the case here.
Throughout the summer, I've been doing a LOT of knitting, and I'll be unveiling some new projects here over the next few weeks. First is a new hat design (I talked about this earlier) called Fixation. It's the companion hat for Monomania: a way to use up leftovers or experiment with stripe and color combinations before committing to the cardigan. So far, I've made three, the two I showed in the previous post, and one from Three Fates Eponymous sock yarn. I bought a mini 10-pack last year at Knit Fit! in Seattle, and it was just the right amount of yarn to make this hat. Amazing!
I just knit until I ran out of each color, then I joined the next one. Great fun.
Until the end of September, the Fixation pattern is only $3 here. Use the code 911fixation at checkout. Now, go crazy! Louise is going to take a nap.

Louise, your chevron madness is my happiness! I am shamelessly copying your rainbow version (it's the highest form of flattery, y'know) and quickly purchased the "1 available" rainbow pack from Three Fates. Sooo looking forward to knitting this hat!
