You know what I'd really really love to knit here?

A hard hat. I'm envisioning a bright yellow, probably felted wool noggin guard. I've spent untold hours with The Google trying to find someone who has written a pattern for such a thing. But alas, I have struck out. If only I were a hat designer...

You know, I even looked around for a crochet version. Those crocheters have created some really odd stuff, but no hard hats. Go figure.

I have a friend who's a super hunter for stuf like this on the internet. I don't think she's a Mike Rowe fan, but she enjoys a challenge. I'll post back here when I hear from her.

I also have a pattern for a felted hat from Fibertrends. If I don't hear anything else, maybe we can modify it.

remember that pink wig from knitty.com? what if you shorten it and elongate the bangs?

ya, I remember the pink wig! I bought a skein of fluorescent green yarn from Wal-Mart for $1.50 to make it. It's still on the list, but won't be ready for Halloween this year.

This is a fantastic idea. I love it! LOL. You so silly...now get to work Robin and knit that baby up. Watch some bob the builder for some inspiration ;) I can't wait to see pictures.
