Oh, but before I forget it . . .

I has some not so great pictures of the hat.  I did these on a loom. My knitting skill is really really basic. More or less just enough to on occasion muster up the skill to make something for someone else, but mostly just to make stuff to keep the roommate and me warm. But as far as I'm concerned, that's just fine. I'm better than I was and it sooths my troubled brain.
