Hmmm... maybe Steve should be using a light weight yarn for summer wear?

And maybe attach a chin strap - Chicago is the Windy City afterall.

Jan ~

Thanks for the photo...the hat looks cute on you!  The color is seasonally appropriate, too.  :)

Steve~
I really like the green, but i would probably have to fight Kendie for it (& I couldn't compete w/ Jan)...I can't decide...I wonder what the "Admiral Blue" is like?  I also like the "Blackberry" in the "swish" but it is more expensive - we need to take up a collection to support your new habit that we are all benefitting from!!  Really, as I said in the other thread, I'll take anything!!

I love your hat -- green is a great color for you!  I have to say I'm a little jealous too.
