Wow. After much teeth gnashing, someone has finally come up with a brain hat so I don’t have to. Well, it’s crochet, not knit. But close enough. In fact, I found a partially-finished brain hat recently in my cleaning. Ah, brain hat. I hardly knew you.
At least, the idea to use lots and lots of i-cord for a brain. More power to em if they do. I got bored after 30 feet or so. Ugh!

I am obsessed with brain hats. I think this is my third or fourth completely new stab at wearable brains, and I’m wondering if it it needs more brains. I kinda like the floppy feel to the grey matter, but then again want it to seem brainish. Basically, what would your head look like if you had a lid-like skull? It’d be like a ring-pull canned meal for a zombie. That’s mah hat.
Much thanks to my model, who quietly watch the Final Four while I put a Bob Rossian ‘fro on him, with brains sticking out. Oh and took pictures to boot. That face is one of long sufferance.
Must.. complete… brain hat…
Seriously. The worlds are converging. There is a brain bag, now shawl, so my hat must be amongst it all! <urgency>
How far have I progressed since the prototype? I started last night (complete with a whole nother great idea) and then realized that making up my pattern wasn’t a great idea after all. So, back to some research today. Tonight I raid, so little to no knitting. Tomorrow on the bus to work, however… I hope to have progress.
