Rude?

Warning:  The nature of this post may offend some people, therefore, please accept my advance apologies if it does. 

My man is away from home for a couple of weeks.  No, he hasn't been sentenced to a short stay in the Big House nor is his livin' it large with a saucy temptress.  On the contrary, he has gone to England to give my old Dad a hand with his home renovations.

Needless to say we are all miss The Hairy One a great deal.  Both kiddlings had little teary episodes at bedtime this evening, whilst I comforted them felt I also had to explain that the are lots of parents around the world who have to leave their families for months at a time to fulfil there duties as soldiers, sailors and airmen.  Incredibly brave men and women, and I can't imagine the emotions of the families left at home.

As I was wanting to do something nice for my man (other than some personal topiary) I went on to the wonderful Ravelry website in search of a beanie recipe.  The Hairy One is very fond of wearing a beanie at work.

There are oodles of fab patterns on Ravelry, many of which are free.  Plenty to choose from.

On page 3 of my search I was introduced to Patterson Beanie which I like a great deal.  There is something quite familiar about it.  I decide this is the one I'm going to knit for the Big Man in my life. 

Cool? Yes, it sure is!!

Then I realise what it reminds me of...  More than likely I am the only person who thinks this but it reminds me of the foreskin of a flaccid willy!  Really it does.

Now, don't for one minute think that would stop me knitting it (with love) for my hubby because it wouldn't.  We are all aware of my propensity to use the odd genitally inspired curse, accordingly, I feel this hat would be entirely appropriate for those time when, in absolute affection, I call him a dickhead.

In fact, I think I should knit one for me too....

Happy pattern surfing,

P.S. Sarah Fitzpatrick if you ever have the misfortune to read this blog, I hope you are not offended my my observations, I honestly think your beanie is great!
