"MIL Hat"

Out of the Blue a hat for the MIL and I'm really hoping this turns out as well as I want it too...as you can see it is not finished, and the finish is the entire anticipation of the whole project... which is why I LOVE the whole felted hat process. You have this vision in your head and you knit and you envision and you throw it recklessly into a tub of hot water and agitate until you think you have agitated enough and you pray that the sizeing is right and you tug and you shape and you envision and you re-envision and you shape and you push and you pat and you pull and stretch and then... well you let it sit for hours of endless waiting and hoping and pacing and anticipating and then you put it on again and look and gaze and well...either you smile and continue or you take that deep breath and sigh and let it go and try to think of a way to resurrect it in some other fashionable way...and if not...well...I'm hoping this time, this one turns out the way I envision...out of the blue...
