So, there you are, smart people. All who participated guessed some sort of hat, and it is indeed a hat. Brother in Law Walter says they are called sock hats in Germany. I'm sorry that we don't have Rosa or Moonpie to model as David does, but that's the way it is. Del and I did our feeble best. The hat is knit in the round in a ribbed pattern to form a stretchy tube with each end shaped into a crown and closed. I suppose the purpose is to make it double layered for warmth. It also allows some variety in how it can be formed once it is on the head, depending on how far up you stuff the end. I find that I usually end up sticking this hat in one pocket and a lighter hat in the other so I can switch off wearing them depending on how hot it is at a particular moment of the day. Yesterday I wore it most of the day with my hood on top of that.
Today was a quiet day. It was so cold this morning that we did not go out until church at 5, so, of course, I had a sofa nap, and did a load of laundry and studied Lithuanian.
It had gotten up to the 20's by the time we left the flat. After church we went back next door to the Yellow Submarine for pizza and more importantly, more hot chocolate with filberts. Yum. We also shared a salad with "mould" cheese. We could tell from the picture that it was blue cheese, so we felt pretty safe in ordering. Once again we brought home enough pizza for another meal. You know how I love that.
Have a great week!
