The Cheerful Hats of Venus Vaughn*

Saturday, November 21, 2009




Occasional commenter and aspiring romance writer Venus Vaughn ponied up the scratch for some yarn for the Excelsior House hat project. The only request she had was that the yarn I selected for her contribution be "cheerful," so I chose this fun, bright, patterned yarn.

The Excelsior House hat count is now at 122.


*The title of this post reminds me of a children's book, which makes me inappropriately happy. "The Cheerful Hats of Venus Vaughn, an inspiring tale of happy-making hats and their generous owner!"  Shut up. I know what you're thinking. The truth is that I'm now starting to dream of knitting hats, and my inappropriate giggling is better than the alternative, which would involve an automatic weapon of some sort with a knitted cozy.

Score!! And they're so bright and shiny I just wanna hug 'em and squeeze 'em and call 'em George.

Thank you for doing all the work. Only THREE more to go. Very exciting.

(btw, if I had the facility to write children's books, I'd be all over the story of The Cheerful Hats of Venus Vaughn.)

Venus, I actually have 58 hats to go. The tally includes the 50 I had on hand when I started the project.

Which means that the automatic weapon with knitted cozy scenario is not entirely out of the question.

Actually that does sound like a good title for a book. I would be inclined to give it a look based just on the title...But then we all know about the thing I have for books.

Oh yikes. 58 isn't the same sort of breathing room that 3 offers.

I'm still thinking of investing in a loom, but I still have a baby blanket and a half to finish first. Then I'll investigate other ways to use up my yarn.
