Brown Jester Hat

Yesterday at the archery range I started knitting a jester hat for my new jester costume.  The only  yarn I brought with me was dark brown, not the brightest color choice for a merry hat. But that's what happens when you go to bed at 3 AM and don't have your stuff ready when you leave the house the next day. Brown was the only thing I had handy that wasn't already tangled in another project.

So many people were schmoozing, that I only had time to knit one of the 'horns'.  I don't know what those points are called now that I think about it. I'm knitting it on double pointed needles.

One of the trees had a small belt of knitting attached to it in a red shade.  Urban knitting? I wanted to knit something to add to it, but I only had the one set of needles and they were already involved in the jester hat. Maybe if it's still there next month I'll add to it.

Jester Hat beginning

Friday I started working on a new jester hat in a silk/wool blend mossy green yarn. Then Sat. I had to go to the ER (but I'm fine) and so today I got back to knitting the hat. The knitting was putting me to sleep so I didn't get very far yet. Yes, knitting is relaxing but sometimes it is too relaxing. So I quit and worked with my hula hoop for a while. Because knitters need exercise too.
