Here comes the hat stalker

The title of this post should be sung to the tune of “Here Comes the Hot Stepper” by Ini Kamoze. It’s what plays in my head now when I’m out in public, since I am now always on the lookout for cute knit hats. It’s like a sickness. I haven’t yet reached the point where I’m zoning out on conversations, but I can tell that it’s only a matter of time. The more hats I knit, the more I want to make.

Sometimes looking isn’t enough, and i have to take pictures. If I can do it unobtrusively, so much the better, but I’m not above explaining that I am a knitter and asking a particularly squirmy person to sit still while I photograph his or her headwear.

I saw this hat on the bus the other day and liked it for a point in the future when I am looking to make a simple project. The woman whose hat it was looked flattered, amused, and slightly creeped out, all at once.
