The Viking Hat rocks! They need a girl version with the long braids. One of you “knitwits” needs to start a novelty baby hat business. ---

I always thought **Kalhoun** was from Tennessee. I have no idea of just why I thought this. Anywhooo. I take your viking and bunny hat and up it to: [coonskin knit hat](http://www.knitty.com/ISSUEwinter03/PATTfrontier.html) and raise it to [Cupcake hat](http://www.grandbluedoor.com/knitblog/?p=22) [size=1] One room at the end of the hall farthest from the nurses station, thank you very much. Oh, and **sistercoyote** thanks for the encouraging words and manifesto! ( I think I am nearly ready to move on to knitting socks.) ---
