Never Before Seen On This Blog
I finished DH’s hat, presented it to him, and coyly asked if he’d be willing to model it for the blog.
I was floored when he agreed. I don’t think he’s ever been featured on the blog before.
So, without further ado, I present . . . long-suffering DH wearing his new hat.
The photo was taken under his terms.
Pattern: Cashmere Ribbed Hat (the link is to my project page on Ravelry where you can find the pattern and my notes about a change I made to the top decreases)
Yarn: Cascade 220
Time to Knit: A day (hey, I was under time pressure–poor DH needed a warm hat).
This is my first official FO of 2008. And so it begins.

Gorgeous color. It’s obvious your DH has lived a long time with a knitter - he knows the most interesting angle from which to view a handmade hat!
Witness protection program ? Or thoughtfully modeling your lovely decreased ribbing?
What a tease!! I wanted to see Mr. IKAFAIC!! Cute hat, dishy head
It’s a start!! Great looking hat!
That’s *so* him!
the hat is looking so great. I love the colour.
OK, Mr. DH, very funny!
The hat looks super! I can’t believe you finished it in a day!
Sweet hat! Very funny picture too:)
I can’t believe I’m only just realizing this, but YOU are responsible for the Branching Out Scarf! Your pattern is what got me back into real knitting again! (Beyond the basic Knit, Purl scarf and occasional hat) I LOVED that pattern, and have recommended it to several other people looking to try their hands at lace and pattern reading. No wonder I love your blog, you’re pure genius!
Hmmm, and I was all excited to see what your hubby looked like. Oh well. Great hat at least. I love the clever decreases.
i bow to you in return Sir, you have a lovely wife and a lovely new hat.
What a hoot! Nice hat!
Nice head!
Great hat and color!
That’s the perfect color. You knew I was going to say that didn’t you?
If he’s gonna model it, I guess it’s ok if he’s not really pictured. Great hat! I’m sure he’s happy just to have a hat.
Nice looking hat and nice model too…if only we could see his face. Ah, but he is shy.
I think Cheryl meant “great head” but I could be wrong.
You had my hopes up there for a moment–but, alas, it was not to be.
Such a sense of humour. Always good to have some who makes you smile in your life.
lovely!!! I know my husband would impose the same kind of terms and conditions
He’s as handsome as I had suspected!
:D
Great hat!
Both, very handsome.
Nice hat! Love the way the ribs come together at the top. Your dh is like mine… regarding not wanting to be on the blog.
Very nice finishing–it is a beautiful hat.
My DH did model the sweater I made for him, but he most definitely didn’t do so willingly. I guess he figured that if he didn’t wear it for the picture, he might not wear it at all.
Silly man! The hat is lovely
Showing his best or worst side? Hmmmm. Best side of the hat anyway, I love the decreases.
I love those decreases too! And they’re going to help me with the hat I’m supposed to start for Abigail.
Beautiful decreases! The hat will keep your DH’s head warm and happy. Great job.
You had me for a minute there, while I waited for the picture to load!
I think we need to see the face that goes with that cute bod.
Hugs!!!
Oh love the hat!!!!
Love the color! And what a sport your hubby is to be featured!
Cute, hat! Love how the decreases work out.
Hahaha. This cracked me up. I have been allowed to show photos of my sweetheart on my blog recently, too. Of his hands LOL.
Great hat, btw…love the color!
hahaha! That is the only kind of picture my DH would let me do too…I just know it! Great hat!
Oh, this is TOO funny.
Hee hee hee! 
Nice husband hat! Nice hat, period. He is so funny.
