Purple cusIOn
n one Wednesday morning, I had a huge dilemma: what shall I knit at school? Listening to α lecture without any WIP wasn't an option. I grabbed the near est ball of yarn, matching needles and hurried to school. Here's the result of that day at school. Notice that the hat is designed for α big head. Measure yours before starting!
