Maybe I will learn how to knit...

london beanie is a great first hat pattern, and the color work on this could even be done afterwards by stitching in the colors in the same direction as the already knit stitches.  I say do it, because it is a pretty rewarding hobby.  I'm learning lace right now and pretty much bit off way more than I can chew.  Back to hats time.

I've never made a hat that really fits anyone.  Perhaps summer's a good time to learn.
