All You Need is Hats

1/4/2015

I am on a hat-knitting binge! FO show time!

Knit Night Hat by Judy Marples / Plymouth Encore in Black

This is the fourth time I have knit this pattern, which is really unusual for me. I don't usually like to knit the same pattern more than once, but this has become my go-to slouchy hat. The pattern as written is quite large, so I modified it by reducing the cast-on number by 10 stitches. You can see the other Knit Night hats I have made here and here and here.

Apparently I have a thing for hats. I scrolled back through my Ravelry project notebook and the past few years, after socks, hats are the object I knit the most. And another went on the needles this week. It's Devil's Snare by Sarah Stevens. It's my flying homework for the Harry Potter Knitting and Crochet House Cup. Since I'm using this yarn that was hand-dyed here in Michigan, it also counts for the Michigan KAL/CAL that is going on in the Team Michigan group.

Elizabeth's Designs Sock Yarn in Oranges Mix

Before I go, I just wanted to share another KAL that I found out about this week. Brittany and Dana of the Just One More Row podcast are having a Clean Slate Challenge that runs through February. You get one prize entry for each 1500 yards you knit from stash. It seems like knitting from stash is a goal that many people have this year!

Thank you for alerting us to even more great KALs. So much fun!

Love that hat pattern. The Elizabeth's designs yarn makes me drool all over the place.

Ooh I love hats!! I love your Knit Nights, and Devil's Snare is lovely!! They are both added to my queue! I used to knit a lot of hats, but then I stopped. I want to knit hats again! I forgot how nice they are to knit, how portable, and useful!

Hit the Quan

Hi... Yo, Yah
(Hey, Buck Nasty? I like your beats!)
I finna, I finna, finna show you how to

Hit the Quan, hit the Quan, hit the Quan, hit the Quan
I said get down low and swing your arm
I said get down low and hit the Quan
I'm finna show you how to
Hit the Quan, hit the Quan, hit the Quan, hit the Quan
I said get down low and swing your arm
I said get down low and hit the Quan

I paper chase then vanish
Hit the Quan on her make her boyfriend panic
I heart Memphis, but I also love dancing
I done took off on em, I don't plan on landing
I call shots just do it like Nike
No FaceTime but the people want to Skype me
If I do time then who would really write me?
I stay on y'all mind but, oh, I think they like me
Clean pair of sneaks, with A-Ds on her belt
Please watch your step cause I'm feeling myself
Throw a flag on the play, man somebody get the ref
Go blah la la la low, man somebody get some help
Pull up on the block

Hit the Quan, hit the Quan, hit the Quan, hit the Quan
I said get down low and swing your arm
I said get down low and hit the Quan
I'm finna show you how to
Hit the Quan, hit the Quan, hit the Quan, hit the Quan
I said get down low and swing your arm
I said get down low and hit the Quan

Pull up on the block and do the dance like crazy
This chick is hella hot but I know this chick crazy
If I think she not then that makes me crazy
We are both thots so we are both crazy
Flexing always on my agenda
Your whole team rats, your CEO is Master Splinter
Bout to hit the Quan and turn that girl into a member
Now my whole team flexing, I think we got a winner
People want to dap it up but they can't get none from me
I went to jail and snap it up, at least I had bum money
People wanna walk around me tryna steal my lingo
Just make sure when you talk about me you say he's doing his thing though

Hit the Quan, hit the Quan, hit the Quan, hit the Quan
I said get down low and swing your arm
I said get down low and hit the Quan
I'm finna show you how to
Hit the Quan, hit the Quan, hit the Quan, hit the Quan
I said get down low and swing your arm
I said get down low and hit the Quan

Guess what? French toast and French fries aren't from France! They've been feeding you lies!!!!!

You used to call me on my, you used to, you used to
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing

Ever since I left the city you
Got a reputation for yourself now
Everybody knows and I feel left out
Girl you got me down, you got me stressed out
Cause ever since I left the city, you
Started wearing less and goin' out more
Glasses of champagne out on the dance floor
Hangin' with some girls I've never seen before

You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing

Ever since I left the city, you, you, you
You and me we just don't get along
You make me feel like I did you wrong
Going places where you don't belong
Ever since I left the city, you
You got exactly what you asked for
Running out of pages on your passport
Hanging with some girls I've never seen before

You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing

These days, all I do is
Wonder if you bendin' over backwards for someone else
Wonder if your rollin' backwoods for someone else
Doing things I taught you gettin' nasty for someone else
You don't need no one else
You don't need nobody else, no
Why you never alone
Why you always touching road
Used to always stay at home, be a good girl
You was in the zone
You should just be yourself
Right now, you're someone else

You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
