Some of us have chosen colors to match our winter coats.  My color is PEAT.  Unfortunately, I won't have it in time for my trip to Scotland and Ireland where it is cold and there is a lot of PEAT.  (It's so much fun teasing Steve.  ;D  I'm sure he's eating up all the attention.)  How did those new shoes do for ya, Steve?  (See if we get a response.  Then we'll know he's following the thread.)

Hey Kaybo .... re LA David, you said it was more special b/c it was the Steelers' colors as he LOVEs them.  So glad LA D. loves the colors and not the actual team  :P !!! 

Or did I miscombobulate what I thought you said?  If so, probably due to lingering effects from the latest visit to the tube of gloom.  :o

Does anyone get the feeling that Steve is purposely avoiding posting on this thread  ???

Perhaps he's already up to his needles in hat orders and doesn't want to read how many more await him  ;)

Here's the link about David's stolen hat http://anausa.org/forum/index.php?topic=9604.0

I didn't take the time to read the entire 4 pages, but I recall someone saying (perhaps in this thread) that somewhere in LA there's a bum wearing a really nice Steelers hat.

I don't actually "make" trouble..just kind of attract it, fine tune it, and apply it in new and exciting ways

I didn't get a hat either.  I just thought it was because my surgery was at the end of June this year.  Summer.  No time for knitted hats.  I won't mention that this past June/July were the coldest on record!  Thank goodness I'd had my hairdresser coif me a style that allowed for a pretty good combover.

I think so, too. As I recall he has about 20 hats on his waiting list already, PLUS he needs time for his real life and reading for the book club.

BRRR Frost on the pumpkins here in Oregon - in the early hours- I will need to take my hat to today's soccer game.

Hey you-all have not mentioned that Steve is also an amazing poet.

There is no doubt about it -Steve is my favorite Renaissance man  ;D he has MUCH talent. We are lucky to have him here in the Pacific Northwest. So you-all know he is also now an ANA support group co-leader.  :-*

Hmmm now where is the thread that has that great holiday poem he wrote? ... Jan can you help me here?

Steve just recently learned how to knit??  I didn't know that.  Now I'm even more impressed by his knitting ability.  MY hat is beautiful, in style, function, and workmanship.

Hi doctorb,   if you want tos ee some really interesting humor on this forum, read the GM thread under AN community start to finish.  Whoever said laughter is the best medicine knew what they were talking about.

BTW,  you can buy a hat knitting kit at wally world for about $12.  makes it really simple tio knit a hat or scarf. My kids make em all the time.
