It is about twenty (-6.67 C) outside, with snow and flurries. I think I need to make myself a yarn hat. Knitted, I mean. I think I want it to be wool, out of variegated sock yarn. I do not currently HAVE any variegated sock yarn in a color I might like a hat out of but I can by god buy some. I know it's March. I know hat season is fleeing rapidly before the procession of the equinox or whatever. Even so, it's twenty degrees outside and I'm in fucking hat mode.
