For my husbands coworker

[jessicali]

My husband comes home from work this morning & says, "so and so wants to know if you can make 2 hats for her?"

 

I say, "Well, yeah, What does she want & when does she want them by?" Me thinking she'll want them on Saturday.

 

He replies, "She wants a Brown Owl and a Pink Pig. I need to take them with me when I go to work tonight." O.o Whoa.. Okay -

 

I have spent nearly all day making a dadgum pig hat. I couldn't find a pattern I liked, so I winged it. I'm going to have to improve for anymore I make. The ears about killed me!! The good thing about the pig, is that I only have a tennis ball sized ball of yarn left from about half a skien!! Totally helped me bust through some stash!

 

The owl hat - took me about a total of 1.5 hours.

cute hats! I'da laughed at him though

[RoseRed]

You and me both and when I was done laughing I would've asked him if he was serious.

 

They came out great.

I've had to churn out a hat in a day, but TWO!?!? Your DH is lucky to have such a patient and understanding wife, lol! If you PM me, I can give you a 'pattern' I came up with for pig ears....they are worked in the round so they are double thickness and are a nice 'piggy ear' shape...work up fast and easy

So cute!!

Amazing, both the hats and that everyone survived. People just have no clue what goes into making things, you are amazing.

I didn't figure I would be able to get it done, and figured I'd have to meet her sometime today - but I REALLY wanted to get them done, because it's a little extra $$ to go shop with for Christmas! (or buy more yarn with) haha!

Got to love Hubbies just like kids at bedtime oh by the way mom I signed you up to bring 5 dozen cookies to school tomorrow for the bake sale..

almost bit my tongue off when I read what he asked. They came out lovely, and even if you are getting paid for them, he owes you big time.

Wonderful hats! I was wondering what all the smoke was about! Man that hook was flying!

[grannyannie]

Great hats! Yeah, I would have been laughing at him too!

[cshort]

Very cute hats.

[DebraKay]

You are sure a good sport! I can't believe anyone would ask that of you -- especially on Christmas eve!!! I would have laughed too. Hope she is appropriately grateful. Many of us slow pokes could not even have finished two hats that quickly! I hope she understands this was way above and beyond normal service! Good job btw!

[jessicali]

She was in love with the hats! She didn't mention anything to him until Thursday night - and he told me as soon as he got home.

 

BTW; He KNOWS he owes me big time!! lol.

[danajokc]

Love the story, love the results!

[Ravenaier]

I totally would have laughed at him, but I think I would have tried.

[tiffer93]

You did a tremendous job, especially on such short notice!

[PetraDae]

Top job!

[kraftynkrazy]

I never would have even tried!!!

 

Wonderful job on the hats, though and I am so impressed with how quickly you were able to get them done! Way to go!!!
