My oldest daughter is one of the biggest Virginia Tech fans around. She graduated from there in 2004 before going to seminary for her Master's. Such a smarty - I should listen to her more often.
She had told me that I should make hats in college colors. At the time I thought it was a hint, as in a Christmas gift for her. But now that I think about it, it's not a bad idea. So today while I was sitting in the car awaiting Hubster as he did his errands I finished up the VT hat I'd started a long time ago.
I'd had about 4 rows of orange up top, but today I took all of those out, back to the burgundy purplish top section. I really did almost redo everything from scratch again. You can tell I sat in the car a long time (lots of errands) because when I got home all I had to do was finish adding the last row of orange. I wanted that so that when you turn up the brim it added the extra stripe. It didn't turn out too bad, if I do say so myself! Now, I wonder if it will actually turn into a Christmas present after all...remains to be seen...she'll be here for Thanksgiving. I bet it doesn't last until December!
