Stupid Internet
I don’t know why my luck happens to be so bad with internet providers, but I have been having issues with my cable. We only moved into this apartment November and I think I have spent fifteen hours on the phone with them trying to sort out issues. I feel like it may be done now. At the risk of jinxing myself, I have not had the internet work as well as it is right at this moment. Of course that is because I spent two and a half hours on the phone with them over the weekend, but still - it should be ALL BETTER NOW.
Which lets me finally be able to post!
I have not yet begun seaming the Medallion Beast. Instead I am procrastinating with small instant gratification projects. Such as a Koolhaas hat.
I used The Fiber Company’s “Road to China” for this and it couldn’t have been a better choice. Two skeins was plenty and this blend is luxury at it’s finest. I have never owned anything so soft, I want to make pillow cases out of this yarn. Or an apartment cozy. Too bad it’s so pricey.
This is my cute unshaven boyfriend modelling the hat. It’s actually my hat but it was manly enough for him to be willing to model for me. He’s so helpful!
I also finished this:
Well, “finished”. It’s just blocking before it gets it’s buttons. Any guesses as to what it is? I may write up the pattern because I really like how the stitch I chose worked out with this yarn.

I’ve made two of those hats and of course I never wear them. Love the way they look though! What’s the bright thing?????????????
