Hibernation

I once knit my daughter a hat.

She models it here, with her cat.

--- But the hat was too tight,

--- She'd like slouchy and light...

That one made her hair go all flat.

So I promised to knit her another.

After all, I am one knitting mother.

--- But I ran out of wool,

--- Before the hat’s length was full,

So I asked her to bring me the other.

I figured I’d rip out the stitches,

Creating more yarn, not more glitches;

--- And she said she would bring it –

--- But she hasn’t...well, dang it!

I wish I could know what the hitch is…

For, until I get that other hat,

The one that makes her hair flat,

--- This project, it snoozes;

--- Hibernation, it chooses;

And I guess, all in all, that is that.

Long story short (too late, I know), I made her a scarf and mittens last winter.  This past winter, she asked for a hat to match, so I bought yarn and set out to knitting a lovely hat, one that matches.  When I ran out of the yarn I had left over, I started to beg her to bring me the other one, so I could pirate that yarn and finish the new hat…that was sometime in late January…I am finally going to admit defeat, and put this project into hibernation…at least until I get that hat back!  lolz!

All is not lost on the project however.  I did finish knitting a letter “Z” last week, so I can give this hat a proper hibernation photo...  

...and I am making some progress on the Baseball Sweater...more about that next time.  For now, thanks for stopping by, and knit in good health!
