Scott Pilgrim Hat - The Mock Up

A day off work means a day to craft and the first version of the Scott Pilgrim Hat is currently done and on my head. I have this much to say: I am NOT starting in on version 2.0 with the fancy Sublime Merino. I kinda HATE knitting. Maybe that is extreme, and I may take that back later in life should I change my mind. All I know is for now, I am ready to pick up a crochet hook. 


Also, I finished this hat 5 days before my BFF's birthday, and if I am not too lazy, I may be able to get in in the mail on time. I am also considering wearing it to work tomorrow, but I am trying to gauge how goofy I would look. We are required to wear hats, but I am not positive of the boundaries of what is acceptable. 



Oh yeah, I got in touch with an online yarn shop owner out of Canada, and she agreed to special order for me the exact color/brand yarn that the pattern specifies for my Scott Pilgrim hat. Which means, in the end I will have made 3 hats, all of which are knitted, of which I am sick of doing. Also, besides myself and my BFF Cory, I don't know anyone who wants one...not even my fiance. Oh well, I plan to put off making the next 2 anyway, I'll just save the yarn and the pattern for later, until the knitting weariness wears off. As for now, I crochet! Or play some WoW...or go to sleep...we'll see.
