As predicted, I did not last long in the "Hat Attack."
At 2:30 today, my husband and I had just sat down to lunch and the doorbell rang. "Who's that?" he asked. "I bet it's my hat - I'm dead." With that I ran upstairs to throw on some clothes, because I did not want to die in my nightgown. (Hey, I had been knitting and cleaning all morning, and the kids were with my mother-in-law, so yes, I was still undressed!) I was right, it was Ana of How to wash a shower curtain. I have to give credit to my dog, who tried her best to kill Ana with kindness before I received the hat. Here is my daughter modeling the very cute instrument of death.
Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to photograph the hat that I was working on. However, I do feel better that there is a reason that I didn't get to finish that project!
I have to say, that besides being "alive" in the contest for only about 29 hours, I had a really good time. I got to meet another great knitter, who is also a fabulous cartoonist, and had a great time fretting about our impending doom with my friend who also was assassinated in person around the same time today. It is amazing how much being a part of the knitting community is enriching my life. So though I am "dead," I feel incredibly lucky.

Hey Debs,
I totally agree! Even though I don't think I'll be able to finish your hat before my own death, I still had a lot of fun doing this, and it was so great to meet you!
Ever since I joined the S&B in Cambridge, I've made a ton of friends in the knitting community. The best part is that everyone is SO different and really only have one consistent thing in common - love of yarn. And really, anyone who loves yarn can't be bad.
Thanks for checking out the website and for the lovely comments. I will keep reading your blog, so update often! See you around!!
