How is it possible that it's already March? Time flies when you're having a good time. With one notable exception involving a falling girl, lots of blood, and a fat lip, February was a good time.There have been tons of projects completed, for which I have promised photos and tutorials. Yeah, it's still on my list but as friends and family will tell you, The List is the length of a bible by now.
Today, I'll share a quick project since the pattern came from Martha. For the Superbowl, I made myself a Steelers hat. Yes, I'm aware that the Steelers didn't make the Superbowl this year, but they would have if a certain Alge Crumpler hadn't injured our Troy in the first game of the season. Stupid Alge Crumpler.
Anyway, I had these baby socks that no longer fit Buttercup. They had little Steeler's logos on them, so I disassembled the socks, grabbed some scrap fleece from Christmas projects, and made myself this nifty Steelers hat. I followed Martha's instructions for the Jester style hat, but instead of pompoms at the ends, I went for longish tassles. I'm ready for September 9! Bring on the 2010 football season!
Ok, that sounds a little strange to me too, but it helps when you have a player you like to watch (have you seen Troy play?) and an understanding of the game. I know more about football now than I ever thought possible. Scary.

Yeah, I'm not sure how it's March already either!!
Cute cute hat. How is it you're such a Steelers fan way out there in ME?
And love the re-use of the baby socks too!
Funny story. True story. I have never been much interested in watching sports on TV. Then one night, there was a football game on and this one player kept leaping over all the others to tackle the guy with the ball or zooming across the field to tackle the guy with the ball or jumping freakishly high to steal the ball from the other team. It was quite impressive to watch. And, of course, since the Steelers played so well last year, there were a lot of games where I could watch this guy play. Football sort of grew on me from there. I suppose I'm less of a Steelers fan than I am a Troy Polamalu fan. He earns extra bonus points because he is (allegedly) a gardener. If he ever switches teams, I'm going to have to start all over again.
