John's Hat

Saturday we took John shopping for an interview suit. He plans to co-op next quarter. His major is industrial design, and he said he wanted to look like a designer, not a banker. I wasn't sure what that meant, but John and the salesman put together a rather impressive look. John was pleased. He tried to act nonchallant when he looked at himself in the 3-way mirror, but he couldn't quite hide his delight. I so wanted to get a photo of that, but I knew he'd never forgive me for bringing the camera into the store.

I was torn between marveling at how grownup he looked and heartbreak at how grownup he looked. Made me farklempt.

Afterwards he did blog duty despite his lack of enthusiasm.




Here's a closeup. His patience was wearing thin.

The hat did not take a month to knit. The pattern was simple. I just put it down in the middle to work on something else. The sunshine made the Azul Buscando a little bright, but in flatter winter light it looks just fine.
