I needed a gift for an exchange at work, so I decided to knit a hat. Unlike my usual M.O., this hat has color, stripes and the illest reindeer you've ever seen.
How 'bout we see that one more time.
That's right. Can you say dope?
I love this hat so much, I didn't even mind weaving in the mounds of ends.
I asked Andrew to model it for me:
The hat fits perfectly, which kind of sucks because it grew substantially after blocking. We'll see what it looks like when it dries. If it's still huge, I'm bringing the world's most bad ass tea cozy to the company holiday party.

It's fantastic! And who wouldn't love those reindeer? Hope it still fits, now that it's dry!

LOVE IT! You should make another one for Andrew, and I hope you don't come home with a Yankee Candle after all that work...;)
that hat is phreshashell. i love it.
That hat is so cute! My boyfriend makes about the same face when I ask him to pose with handknits.
Do I really need a google/blogger account to comment? :(

OMG! That is one bad azz exchange gift!!
LOL @ bad azz tea cozy!!
Good to hear from you!
that's a super cool hat - love the reindeer - and it makes me want to work at your office... and be lucky enough to get an awesome gift like that in an exchange!
So, did it fit in the end? Did everyone at work rant and rave over it? I have to say it looks great on Andrew, though he has that "Here I am, modeling a hat" look.
I love the parade of elderly reindeer on that hat - I hope Santa is kind to his retired beasts - as the RSPCA would say - 'A reindeer is for life, not just for Christmas.'
