Stages of Grief?

Queued for over a year...the humping reindeer takes shape...today. Coincidence? Or perhaps moving through the stages of grief and loss. 

Pattern http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fornicating-deer-chart Beware the chart does not show blank squares on the decreases.
Used some Remants of Red Galway and Cascade 220 Gray
Size 7 needles and zipped through this hat. I love, love the two color braided cast on and the latvian braid. Very easy. I used Youtube as a teacher again.

Love that I actually have an adult brother who will cherish a humping reindeer hat.

Ewetopia Fiber Arts Boutique will shut its doors forever.

When one door closes another opens...and thus is born this blog: Diminished Coping a knitting (and sometimes sewing, someday crocheting) backdrop of my life. My first lame attempt at a blog.
The pattern is "Just Enough Ruffles" by Laura Chou. The design is brilliant in the hidden short row shaping. http://http//www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/just-enough-ruffles You will find it for sale on Ravelry. You can find me there too. Please add me to your friends...loririemer is my Rav name.
