Look at these pictures: hair curled, pink shirt, purple heart hat. I think this is the girliest picture I've ever taken.
Ok, I just went and looked through my iPhoto, and yes, it is confirmed: This is the girliest picture I have ever taken.
I have two problems, and luckily they go hand in hand. Problem #1: I have a lot of small quantities of yarn; and Problem #2: I don't have any cute, slouchy, lacy hats. After I finished my most recent design, I had a skein and a half of this Knit Picks Swish DK in Amethyst Heather, and I knew what I had to do with it.

The pattern is the Ruby Red Heart Hat, and it was the perfect balance of quick & easy, but interesting enough to keep me knitting row after row. I followed the pattern exactly as written for the large size (my head is huge - I can't wear hats from regular stores), and a few episodes of American Horror Story later, I had a hat.
Speaking of which, have you watched that first season of American Horror Story? I loved it, and I blame it all on R.L. Stine. The plot and setting made me feel like I was watching the Fear Street books come to life, especially the 99 Fear Street series. Anyone else totally in love with those books as a pre-teen?
