Another perfect hat by Steve, and another beautiful ANer with a hat!  Way to go, it looks great on you!

Hi K,
 
Don't use the img code like when embedding pictures in the message itself.  Use the one that starts with http:// , it's called the direct link code.
 
I assume you are using photobucket or something similar?

K,
 
You would have to edit the picture (crop) to be square to begin with.  Otherwise, it will squish it into a square.  Photobucket has a cropping tool that you can use.  You don't need to get it perfect, just close to square (eyeball it).  If you need any help, let me know.

Kay,

Good call on waiting for the blue!  That is definitely the right color for you!  And you look fantastic, by the way!   :)

What's the weather like in Texas today?  You might look a bit out of place wearing a knit hat when it's 80 degrees out!  Just for you, I'll hope for a cold front to come through!

Kay ~

Cute hat, great photo. Thanks!  :)   

Our Steve is certainly an industrious milliner and spreading joy to many ANers, around the nation.  Kudos to Steve and his many warm-headed 'customers'.   ;D

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.
