Knitting takes me away from the computer world but gives me a never ending media to learn and create. Each of my patterns have a little challenge to them. But don't worry, I have a list of "techniques used", so you know what you'll be getting into right away. Remeber it's a crazy hat, people will be too busy "Rolling on the Floor Laughing" to notice if there's a few technical flaws.
