I think I’m secretly conquering the world with a knitted hat.

(Is it even possible to conquer something in secret? Doesn’t the word conquer at least imply some kind of public display?)

This one I’m making for my darling Karro. (No, we’re not in a secret lesbian relationship or anything. We’re just friends.)

I absolutely adore the yarn. It’s Järbo Lovikka, about 11 sts/in, and oh so lovely to knit with. The color is just fabulous, too, and I don’t usually like non-solid colors. The pattern is my own (well, I’m not really sure you can call it a pattern at all, I basically just cast on 60 sts and went from there); my better half needed a new hat so I knit him one. His is a deep red, but since he hates to be photographed there isn’t any pictures of that hat yet.

My sister made one, too, after I sent her the so-called pattern. She sent me a picture of hers in black and white but assured me it made no difference since her hat is in fact gray
