Nighttime naughty knitting.

@AllyJay - I've never knitted a beanie before.  I used to knit jumpers and have done a couple of fair isle (one I loved doing, the other I hated) although I always passed them on to Mum to pick up the neck and it was always to a pattern!  How hard are beanies, how hard is this one with the writing and do you have a pattern?  Or are you so clever and experienced that you just wing it?

Dear @AllyJay and network members - You should all enter the Alice Springs Beanie Fest. My sister enters every year. Have a look at www.beaniefest.org 

This is great @AllyJay, love the colours!! X

Black on neutral stone it is. You are a gem. I'll get the cms to you shortly.

Hi again @kmakm , measurements would be good..thanks. Black on neutral stone would work well, but white on black runs the risk of colour bleeding. If, however you would like the white on black, I can do so for you. @onemargie , thanks for the enthusiastic feedback, but  scarves are the bane of my life...row after row after row, and the fiddlesticky (for the sensitive ones), things never grow. Knit knit knit...measure... repeat and repeat. Nah, life's too short for scarves for me!!!

Holy shit @AllyJay thst looks soo fucking cool I love it!!  Well done. I would of worn one for sure lol. You could expand and do scarves! Not that you have time but I think it’s a great idea well done love. You’re a bloody legend lol Margie. Xx

Oh thank you so much @AllyJay! I have a large noggin, the extra size not so much in the circumference (big enough) but in the depth, as in the distance from the top of my head to my ears! I can PM some measurements if you'd like.

Yes, @sister is right, I am a bit of an in yer face type but I think the message is full on enough. What about black writing on a soft warm light brown/stone colour? Trying not to say beige! Or would white on black work? I am a Melbourne girl after all...

I reckon @kmakm is an in yer face type!  Am I right?

Hi there @kmakm , one coming up especially for you. Do you have a relatively small, medium, or large noggin? Also do you have a colour choice. I have a variety of yarns in my stash, but will be at the shops later today, so if I don't have, I can get any others. I would suggest  just saying neutral with black writing, or pastel with white writing or in yer face primary colour with black writing. The one I'm busy with is fuschia pink and matches my personality.

I would like to put my hand up for one. Cancer has had six bites at my family and taken three. I would wear the beanie with vigour. Hope that's OK @AllyJay.
