So cool Phyl!  And Steve, btw, green is my favorite color this year, and it is still cold enough to wear a knit hat here.  Not that I'm hinting or anything.  8)

Wow, that's great!  Love the color!  Steve, your production line is knocking these hats out pretty quickly - I'm impressed!

Thanks so much for modeling for us, Phyl!

Up here in the "Great White North" we call that hat a toque.  I'd love red or purple if the toque fairy is listening ::)

Steve,

That is it -we have to get a photo of the entire PDX ANA group in knitted toques now!

I sure needed a toque this morning as the Canadian snow front, that blew in, surprised all us "west coast (weather) wimps"- this morning.


He writes poetry, knits hats ... us PDX'ers are lucky ones indeed to have such a Renaissance man as our Sunny Disposition Steve:)

Pearly Whites ;D - that hat looks great on you!

Phyl -

although I'm partial to my green hat, compliments of Steve, yours looks wonderful too!

I was wondering who got the "pastel" hat in the other type of yarn he was referring to...I don't think I care what color, I just want a hat - I'm kind of feeling left out here.  Should I start the "Lonely Hats Club"???   ::)

Don't lose faith, Kay.

I have a feeling that Steve is just getting started  ;)

Phyl:

Nice hat.  I'm impressed with Steve's knitting ability and productivity.  Gals usually look good in those knit hats and you're no exception, Phyl.  :)  Thanks for the photo.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.

I think Steve has beat us at our money making schemes Jan and Kay!  What were we thinking?

Phyl you look devine in your pretty pastel ensemble!

I think we'll have to come up with a new challenge for Steve... he can't be good at EVERYTHING, can he?   ;D

Steve certainly knows how to warm the hearts (and heads) of the ladies on here!  WTG, Steve!!!

I think your avatar photo should include you in your hat.  Hey, I think everyone who gets a hat from Steve should wear it in their photo!
