The red hat stays on 🧑🎄
"On February 23, 1942, police in Trondheim announced that people caught with red hats would be punished.
The red Santa hat was already popular in Norway before the World War II, according to Ingun Grimstad Klepp. The textile researcher at OsloMet is one of the authors behind the book Norsk strikkehistorie (Norwegian knitting history). People knitted the red hats themselves. The hats often had tassels.
'It is also a garment with long historical roots as a symbol of freedom and political unity,' Klepp writes."

I said to my partner early on that it seems like she is playing a role that was written for a man. 🤡 She’s great and it’s still good, but it just shows that a simple gender swap doesn’t work 100% and whether we like it or not there are nuances.
I just minted a petlet. My Warplet now carries a small and reassuring best friend. It contains a bit of my Farcaster best friend's DNA: @coolbeans1r.eth@anco
Fresh off the needles!! I haven’t done colorwork like this in a long time and tried quite a few new techniques out on it. It came out mostly fine, a few mistakes but hopefully better after a wash and shape. Used 2 balls of yarn from my stash. For a family member who lives skulls and such.
