I love knitting <3

[jesso]

So my Grandma CJ is going through chemo, and she's lost her hair, so I decided to knit her a wig hat:


in bright orange, naturally.

I'm pretty sure she's going to LOVE it.

(It will fit her better than it fits me, because I made it a bit small to fit snugly on a head that's without the thick hair I inherited from her)

((Also, I think I need to knit one for myself now. I kind of love this thing))

So cute

Seasonal colour, too. :)

I picked orange because bright colors are more "her" than anything subdued. She used to find the loudest, ugliest Hawaiian-print fabric she could find, and then make shirts for my dad out of it :)

Seems entirely appropriate, then.

[illusory-scenes.livejournal.com]

Jess, that's awesome! I'm sure she'll love it. :)

Also, you have a really cute nose. And we are eye color twins!

it would take me years to finish a project like this. it took me 7 years to finish an afghan.

Oh, I could never do an afghan. Too repetitive for me! This was fun because it was a funky shape, and it was something new. It was actually a pretty quick project, too, since it's all 2x2 ribbing so I could watch movies and stuff while working on it.

Nice! :-)

You're so awesome, Jesso! Great inspiration, great creation. I bet Grandma CJ will be so proud to show off the sweet wig hat her granddaughter made for her. What a brilliant idea. You also look ridiculously cute in the wig hat. I think you should go into wig hat business!

I think you could make these in the "wild" hair-dye colors and probably sell (or lend?) them to people who want to try bright pink hair for a little while without the associated desire for self-immolation that some of my friends have experienced over a bad dye-job (or bad decision-making, take your pick).

Also, for a moment I thought you'd knitted cornrows/dreadlocks.

That is totally awesome!! I love it! I bet if she wears it to chemo you get requests from other people for the same thing. :)

Did you have a pattern for that or just come up with it yourself?

[syntheticjesso.livejournal.com]

I have a pattern! It's on knitty.com (http://knitty.com/ISSUEfall04/PATThallowig.html) for freeeeeeee :D

THAT IS THE COOLEST WIG-HAT EVER!!!

I didn't know you were talking about a WIG hat... I thought it was a hat that would act sort-of like a wig, since it's a hat. BUT THAT'S A WIG!!!

Super awesomeness.

In other news, chemo sucks.

Cute, cute! I love it <3
