The Vortex pattern is really fun and interesting to knit, and the pattern is very clever. I have no idea how the designer ever figured out how to write the pattern, and you know, I had no idea how the thing was supposed to look or what I was doing until the very final step of grafting the ends together. My “make 1” stitches are ugly, as you can see, but who cares! I love the hat.
I used Sugar ‘n Cream or Peaches ‘n Cream or one of those cream kitchen cottons. I think I have enough yarn left to make a non-pointed version. Peter thinks I look like an oompa loompa with it on, but there’s nothing really wrong with that, is there?
As long as you don’t get some bad self tanner and turn yourself orange, I think you’ll be fine.
he’s just pissy because you didn’t make him one. I WANT ONE TOO.
awesome! i need to dig that issue out and take a second, or maybe a first, look…
Awesome hat! It looks amazing on you.

That is wild! It must have been fun to knit. Your M1s look fine. Very fun.
Perfect for morning walkies. And cute.
It’s very festive. Oompa loompas rock!
Deep Roy is someone to look up to (even if you have to look down to do it). Go, Oompa Loompa, Go!
Maybe Peter looks like an oompa loompa. OK, I’m 8. Your hat is adorable, maybe make Peter a “manly version” aka in brown/black with a big point 🙂
