A week or so ago, the Nonlinear Family minus Ada came over for a no-cook brunch. Portland was in the midst of an unbelievable heat wave and even though Friday morning was the first time we emerged from the basement in the morning and didn't burst into flames, I still didn't want to cook anything. We made a trip into St Johns for bagels and donuts, cut up fruit and had yogurt and granola, and though John did turn on the stove to make coffee, everything else was uncooked (by me).
This hat was made from the leftovers from the Necco Wafer sweaters I made for the Nonlinear Twins (here), and was the perfect post-shawl knitting, since I could actually watch TV while I worked on it. It's the same Knitpicks CotLin, knit up at 5.5 sts/in on a US 6 kneedle in 4-row stripes. The top braid is 24 strands of yarn (4 each color) so it's pretty substantial.

And it was delicious, that hat!
