So, what does one do when one has term papers to grade? Why, knit, of course!
Yesterday, I graded a huge stack of term papers. I knew that this was probably going to take twice as long as I planned - no matter how much time I allotted for the task. While I read, I mindlessly worked on this hat for the Neatnik, using up the leftover yarn from her Aran sweater. Neatnik has a new hat, I retained my sanity, and, overall, the students did pretty well on their papers, too.

That is a very cute hat. :)
Great multi-tasking - am trying to decide whether knitting and walking or this is most impressive!
Multitasking at its finest!
Cute hat, and multi-tasking is a great way to improve a not-so-fun task.
Loving this hat ..... could you publish a pattern for much MUCH bigger heads??
CUTE CUTE!
Hats are popping up all over the place...there must be something in the air. Oh, wait, there is...it's called "a chill".
Super cute hat!
I'm SO making this hat for myself and my huge 23" head. I'll just add a couple more Mossy Stitches. So cute, it'll go over well at the store.
Multi-tasking...you should be teaching that course, too! Very, very impressive!!!!
What a cute hat. I love the pompoms
I bet that hat looks great with the sweater, too.
I wish I could read and knit. I've never mastered that one.
What a cute hat!
Adorable hat! I want to make one of these now too.
Nice job!
SO cute! I love the texture. Should be warm, too. Wish we could see the Neatnik in it.
What an adorable hat :)
