I never did update when this got finished last summer, did I?

Happy with how it turned out, even if it does take some serious hairpin architecture to construct a bun that'll hold the hat steady - it's a little heavier (and a lot more ready to blow around in the wind) than anticipated.

I'm at that stage in my current project (crochet blanket) where the end is in sight and therefore my brain is raining new project ideas. It's five rows from done! I gotta have the next one ready to go!

And that is why I have ordered a very wide brimmed gray straw hat to embroider to look like the Enterprise.

What has been and what is,” 1882 Comet Dust, Sunspots, and Red Planet: “L'Espace céleste et la nature tropicale, description physique de l'univers,” 1866

Wider Skies tea labels, part one! There are 3 or 4 others I want to make, but here’s what I’ve got so far.
