First-ever hat and socks projects, respectively, maiden DP needle use. I wanted to do a bright blue with yellow-green trim, but a certain Simon who shall remain nameless has a shrinking fear of bold colors. I forgot to take a photo of the smaller taupe hat with the yellow-green trim, which actually had a top knot. The solid color hat replaces the top knot with a couple of bobbles and lampwork beads topped with a tassel. The joins on the hats were horrific: crooked and cranked tight. It's nice to know that as far from perfect as my making up is, I've definitely improved. This time next year, I hope to be shaking my head at the past ineptitudes of the Fall 2004 projects. I also hope to be congratulating myself on helping put Kerry in the White House, and generally regarding a world headed away from the lower circles of hell than straight into it in a handbasket.
