*breathes deeply*
Okay. You know the hat? The lovely blue Nova Scotia tartan knitted hat? Well, it was a decoy. The real hat doesn't look anything like that. Yes, my friends, you've been duped. The good news is that you don't have to wear it.
As you know, I popped the hat, so lovingly knitted par moi, in the mail last week. It arrived in beautiful Nova Scotia on Monday. Poor SCUMbaagg. *snickers* He sent me a note detailing the arrival. I'll share it with you now...
Absolutely thrilled at the ceremonial arrival of the much awaited hat today.The mailman heralded its delivery with car horn blasting and escorted by a troop of mounted policemen....who once seeing the wonderful product upon my head threatened to take me away. It has not left my head since I opened the package and no doubt Margaret will have to tear it off my head before retiring tonight or it may become the ultimate form of birth control. Now regarding colour and composition..either the pixelation of our 'puter is a bit off as it does not quite match the pictures that you posted or you simply threw caution to the wind and did your own thing.What the heck, I got my Barbie pink and pom pom so I cannot ask for more. Either way I am delighted with the end result and simply cannot wait for the next snow storm at which point I will gleefully run out to the tractor and plow away to my hearts content knowing that my head will be totally protected from the elements and any further bouts of cancer as I think the hat would scare away the heartiest of malignant cells. -A very happy scumbagg
Wow. You can't beat that with a stick. It almost sounds like he's, I dunno, happy with it. Dare I go so far as to say, thrilled. Ecstatic even. (Am I getting carried away here, Mark? Alright.) So, before I share a picture or two of the stylish chapeau, let me update you on SCUMbaagg's treatment.
He had one dose of chemo back in January. The doctor decided to stop the chemo after one treatment as it was affecting his hearing and, being the best darn piano-tuning, musical instrument repairing Brit this side of the Cabot Trail, she felt the risk to his livelihood was greater than the chemo merited. He has been going for radiation since January. Apparently, this has a tiring effect on a patient as was witnessed when he was doing some work under his car and fell asleep. Oh, those cancer patients. Anyway, Mark seems to be doing well. His sense of humour hasn't left him and, God love him, you know darn well he's really gonna wear that hat. Outside. Here's my dear brother-in-law SCUMbaagg and the real McCoy**. Yep, it's even embroidered...
* Note: orders may be placed between 9 and 10, Monday thru' Thursday. Cash only (small bills please). Orders placed in March could ship in 2009.
** SCUMbaagg and the Real McCoy. That'd be a good name for a country band. Wonder if they could use a fiddler?

You know, the hat actually suits him.
It looks toasty warm.
If you are taking orders I would like one as it would go well with my Gores Landing plaid "dinner" jacket!
What colour plaid would that be? Wouldn't want it to clash.
