The knitted hats are famous the world over!  Steve the legend knits them for people he likes.  He never knitted me one.  Bastard.  Ha ha... just kidding Steve!  He knows I can knit my own... that's the real reason (I think??!!)!  I think the story goes, he knitted one for himself and put a picture up and the AN'ers loved it so much they all wanted one - he's a busy boy... knit knit pearl pearl!

Well, it all started out as kind of a joke - but then Steve went ahead and learned how to knit.

I for one was shocked  :o  I'll admit it - again - I never thought he'd do it.  But one day he showed up on the Forum with a blue hat.  Then I got a green one in the mail.  Then Phyl got one.  Then DHM got one.  And on and on and on.  Who knew that Steve was so talented  ;D

Here's a thread that might interest you  http://anausa.org/forum/index.php?topic=8598.0

Also check out Steve's website http://stevegerrard.home.comcast.net/~stevegerrard/Hats/index.html     The website is missing a picture of the Steelers' hat that Steve knit for LA David.  Someone stole it out of David's mailbox, so he was never able to send us a picture  :(

Really?  Someone stole it?  How rude.  That makes me really sad.

LA David's had his stolen?  :o  :o  Didn't know about that!  Shows just how valuable "nimble fingers" hats truly are... as I value mine immensely!

I didn't get one either!  But that didn't stop me from getting a really nice black one with a little skull on it -- it is a skateboarding hat -- and all my son's friends (9yo) think it is very cool!

Well than, I might have to go out and buy myself a hat or just steal one of my little guys...he's got a bunch of them and won't miss one if it suddenly disappeared one day.  I'm certainly not going to take up knitting...might poke myself in my good eye and than I'd really be screwed!  :o

LA David's was, like the others, special made BUT it was even more special b/c it was the Steelers' colors as he LOVEs them.  Steve mailed it and apparently someone took it out of the mailbox before he received it.  It all started on the Book Club thread when Steve stated that he didn't think he wanted to read The Friday Night Knitting Club.  He definitely shocked us all when he had taught himself to knit off the internet!

Doc,
Yes, I thought the same when I joined the forum. Who is this "Steve-  May I knit you a hat?"
  He is very busy and will have to start charging $$$$$$$$$$$ soon. Or else change his sig!
 ..........I can knit you a hat but it will cost you......
He's great. I met him in Portland  couple of weeks ago.

When I first joined the forum, everyone was buzzing back and forth about Steve’s hats. I was on the forum doing my research and followed the hat thread quietly. The way everyone joked with each other made me realize how much everyone cared about each other, and that a good sense of humor was good medicine and still possible with an AN.

You're so right...expect my sense of humor to be present in most every post I write!
