Incredi-cheapness.
So everyone always talks about how crappy Sugar n’ Cream yarn is (”dishcloth cotton”, if you will), but when I saw all the fun bright colors they had at Michael’s the other day, I got overly excited and bought some - bright orange, bright blue, pale yellow, and bright red. I bought them with awesome cotton slouchy summer hats in mind, and hey, if they turned out crappy I was only wasting $1.69 a hat.
So I made this awesome hat out of the bright orange, and it turned out GREAT! I can understand why you wouldn’t make, say, a sweater out of this yarn, but it’s great for hats. The coolest part of this hat is that it’s worked inside out…the “outside” is ribbed, but then you turn it “inside out” and it’s all awesome and bumpy!

The back is the best part…

I dig it! And Laura will try to steal it off of you I’m sure. Also, what is Chris doing in the background of the second photo?

Nice hat, lovely sister! And Jonathan is the cute one, not me.
He makes me look good. And I want to meet your kitty. She’s adorable.

You look darned hot with that hat and hair.
Should I dye my hair black?
