\"\"<\/a>I’ve paused briefly on my scarves to fulfill a promise I made to myself — that when The Birthday Massacre<\/a>, a favorite band of mine, came through town again, I’d throw a custom-designed TBM-themed hat up on stage for lead singer Chibi (also a knitter). I had the yarn but only recently got the inspiration<\/a> to design this hat, tentatively called “Down The Rabbit Hole”. According to Ravelry, there are several other patterns with that title but no hats, so I might keep it or I might change it. However, this is only a prototype. I have to work some of the kinks out of the pattern before it’s ready for the prime time. If all goes well, I won’t have the hat anymore after tonight’s concert so I’ll have to rely on my memory and my photos to help me redesign it.<\/p>\n

This sort of fanboyism creeps me out a bit, and I dislike doing it intensely, but I have been listening to their music for years and if I didn’t know that their front woman also is a knitter I probably wouldn’t do it. But since I have a good feeling she’ll appreciate it, I’ll do it. Just this once.<\/p>\n

For those interested in stats, it’s made from 2 colors of Manos Silk Blend<\/a> (30% silk, 70%% Merino) on size 4 needles for a DK gauge of 6 sts\/in.<\/p>\n

More views here<\/a> and here<\/a>. For those interested in the pattern, I’m not sure whether I will release it yet in its current state. I may redesign it radically or subtly but rest assured it will be a better pattern if\/when I do decide to release it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
