There's seriously nothing better than instant gratification.
Pattern: A Better Bucket
Yarn: Malabrigo Worsted in Vetiver
Needles: Size 7s addi turbos
I can barely keep a straight face today. I woke up late, did some Spring Cleaning, got a mani/pedi and am now sitting at Patricia's Yarns. Pretty idyllic I know. To top it off, today is the first day of my Easter Break vacation from school. My boyfriend and I are leaving on Sunday to go to Tampa for a little R&R and to catch one of the last Yankees spring training games. I cannot wait to get to lovely 80 degree weather.
As for my Bucket Hat, I am so happy with it! It's particularly great for my curly head as it doesn't smoosh down the curls. I did need to refresh my brain with the provisional cast on. (which is 3xs as fiddly when trying to knit a hat with Magic Loop) But beyond that this hat was very easy to knit - I will definitely be making more...
What's next... a FO that's Long Overdue for a blog post!
*can you believe that Poloroid is stopping production on their film and cameras! What a loss! I hope someone will take it up so we can Shake it like a Poloroid Picture for years to come!
OOH! SO cute! I want, I want!
Have a great time in Tampa! I miss you already. xo-sfam

I love the hat! The Vetiver colorway is so pretty. I may just have to make one for Malabrigo March. :)

I totally feel your curly-headed pain!! I had to stop knitting hats for me because they never got worn. Yours turned out really cute, though!
I also have to recommend one of my FAVORITE restaurants while you're in Tampa. Bern's Steak House (http://www.bernssteakhouse.com/) is amazing. Their food is awesome, and they have a seperate dessert room upstairs with private booths - perfect for you and the BF. Have a great time!
