Raw Chicken Viking Hat, As Promised

Here you go; I do still knit:


Done in plenty of time for the shower, too, at which we have been promised No Games, on account of, as the invitation says, "they are not dignified."

Unlike the baby's new raw chicken viking hat from hell, which is WAY dignified, and will, I gather, cause the baby's Manhattan grandparents great joy.

If not, no matter, cause I'm in Pittsburgh.

The dreadfulness of this object cheers me no end. Especially nice, I think, are the ties, which evoke Wagnerian sopranos, will look even sillier when tied, and are probably illegal in several states on account of being sure to strangle the baby.

In a stroke of irony, I see that Laren has just posted a much more realistic Viking hat. Much more. It's tasteful and dignified, and useful to boot.

However, should you (God help you) be so enamored of the raw chicken Viking hat that it irks you because it's meant to fit babies, and won't go on your head at your next beer-fest, there's probably still time, if you ask nicely, to get in on Rabbitch's "Raw Chicken Viking Hat Knit-a-long." Then you can have one of your very own. (Graduate students: I cannot answer for your future, should you actually WEAR these things to the colloquia. Good luck, and may the force be with you.)
