Shiver Me Timbers

Are pirates still cool, or are they corny again? Not that it matters. I will probably be making versions of this hat every few years for the rest of my life-- my brother-in-law is hard on knitwear.

The first time I made this-- four years ago-- I didn't yet know how to hold my yarn. Now I can't imagine how I managed to finish it. This one I started Monday night, during the much-hyped Patriots-Jets game. I could probably sit through public executions if I had some knitting with me. Perhaps that explains Madame Defarge.

Believe it or not, this is my only WIP at the moment!
