I jumped on the bandwagon
First let me say… I usually detest it when people jump on bandwagons. It’s annoying and generally reflects a lack of confidence and creativity, as well as a (usually inappropriate) desire to fit it and make others happy (often at the cost of one’s own joy and happiness). But for several weeks I have been watching people over at Men who Knit making the Tychus Hat from knitty.com and I’ve thought it looked like fun. So, I decided given it a try. Now I know why. It may be the warmest hat I’ve ever seen. It’s easy to make. Fun. Quick.
I had originally made it as a gift for someone… I might not give it away 
It’s made out of Vanna’s Choice Acrylic which is megacheapo (2 skeins for $5) but I’m pretty happy with it. The pattern is here, if you’re interested. Be careful though - the pattern must make a hat that could probably fit Goliath; I only made 4 panels and it’s already a pretty big. It took about an hour a panel.
Anyhow, here’s what it looks like:
Grace and Peace,

That is ONE handsome hat — and you look pretty good too Tim. Did you take the picture of yourself yourself?
I’m going to try to knit that hat — but I think it’s too late for Christmas.

Don’t count it out for Christmas… It’s a quick project!
I’ve heard (read) that some people have found it works well with five panels but US size 7 needles.
As for the pictures… JJ took the one of my face and I took the close-up of the head.
Hope you’re well.
Grace and Peace,
