i was at boardsports in berkeley a few days ago. everytime i go to one of those stores, i spend all my time at the beanie rack.
 find waldo
 my favorite: 100% wool, $24.99
at first i thought: what the heck is that mess? that's a lousy logo if i ever saw one. then i flipped it inside out.
 ah, hand embroidery!
the label says burton, the supergiant of snowboard outfitters. as much as i am against brand names, i have to admit this one has pretty unconventional design ideas.
 also available in lime
i forgot to check where it's made. probably in a country where no one cares for the english alphabet. i mean, what the heck is that character after the letter n?
this was made at 838 rainstorms-blowin-like-a-mutha street:
 a rabbit, i think
yarn is hand spun by yours truly, knitted using us11 double pointed needles. arms and legs are nothing more than icords. screwy ears are moss stitch. body stuffed with wool roving. all ready for felting.
except i don't have enough dirty laundry to wash with it. the experiment will have to wait a few more days. i expect it to shrink to half its size. what do you think?
