"Nationally renowned vegan firefighter." I ran into this description of someone while googling a dessert I had today. (Too tired to knit.)

The finished heather gray/bubblegum pink custom order (on a smaller kid).

Upcycled Mohawk - Pink & White. Oh yeah.

On Etsy here!

They have this charity event called “St. Baldrick’s.” It’s an event where a bunch of people collect money for kids with cancer and then shave their heads in solidarity with those kids.

Do you like me? Or do you dislike cancer? Or do you just want to support me getting a haircut? Please donate money.

Would you like to really donate money? I’ll shave it off for the right price. What’s the right price? (I guess that I can’t enable answers on this post, you’ll have to reblog).

Thank you ladies bearing gifts from afar! That was so much fun...especially watching the budding friendship (more accurately, co-conspiracy) between our girls. Can't wait to see you again...maybe we can have a banjo/uke jam sesh next time!

Upcycled: T-Shirt ——> Custom Hat

Upon the advice of my dear friend Margaret, I am now listing a custom order on Etsy: send me your used t-shirt and I’ll knit a custom hat out of it.

The Etsy listing is here.

The hats turn out WAY better than (even I) expected. Soft (the softer the shirt) and stretchy, and good for all-season wear. I love these hats (and I’m my own worst critic).
