Dorky yet...I totally think I want one of those, too! :D

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

I know, right?? How absolutely fun would that be to wear!

I wish I could knit. Or had the desire to, which I don't. But when I see things like this, I think, "Oh, man, if only!!"

[mrowe.livejournal.com]

For this, you'd be better off crocheting it anyway *g*

(oh, and I want one too...)

*copies photo for future reference*

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Ah, so it's crocheted? I'm not well-versed in either to tell. LOL I just know I want one!

[mrowe.livejournal.com]

This looks simple enough, technically, that anyone who can crochet a beanie hat can make it.

The idea itself is still totally brilliant (and more than a bit adorkable) of course:-)

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Key words being "anyone who can crochet". I never got beyond the "make a looooooong chain" stage, much to my grandmother's dismay. My sister, however, took to it like a duck to water. I do better with words, on the whole. *g*

[j-flattermann.livejournal.com]

How brilliant is that.
I guess, I could do with one of these as well.

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

People are so clever and creative!

[suzll.livejournal.com]

MIGHTY NEED!!!

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

And we never knew we had such a need!!

[curiouswombat.livejournal.com]

Wonderful!

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

The creativity of people never ceases to delight me!

[the-winterwitch.livejournal.com]

Mwahaha, that is cool! Do you know where that comes from (as in, is there a pattern)? I somehow see myself crocheting that sooner or later for my sister's brood...

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Alas, no pattern. It was just a photo I saw on Facebook. But I bet you could google "Roman centurion knit hat" or even "Marvin the Martian knit hat" and find something.

I think it'd make a fantastic gift for the right person. :)

I found it on Ravelry; designer has a listing on etsy. Sizes go from infant to adult. So worth it!

:)

[the-winterwitch.livejournal.com]

Oh, great, thanks! *bookmarks* That gives me all kinds of ideas, like a Gondorian helmet or something... but first I have to learn "English needlework speech" and how to crochet after patterns. I should get myself an account on ravelry, I suppose - didn't dare so far, because the needlework interferes so badly with the writing. *g*

Truly awesome!

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

The perfect hat for someone with a good sense of humor!

[bluegerl.livejournal.com]

I can see our mutual friend Miko will be having orders sent her way. She is a MAGICAL Crocheter... and this would only take her about half a day. Oh Fab. what a lovely hat. Including the horsebrush down the back too! Just gorgeous. (I quite like the bloke? do they come as a pair?) teehee.

[mikononyte.livejournal.com]

YOU get the Gimli helmet with beard.



just kidding! LOL

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

*giggle*

[bluegerl.livejournal.com]

You'd better be kidding or else!!! I'd send the Ranger over to sort you... or a Uruk Hai! Heehee... Actually right now I'm so starved I could DO with a Gimli-helmet and beard!!!

(sporfles away to make tea )(In case I get helmeted visitors???)

[mikononyte.livejournal.com]

I crochet.
I found pattern.
It's at Ravelry.
:)

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Brilliant! So many cute designs there. *Almost* makes me want to pick up needle and yarn. Almost.

[babschwi53.livejournal.com]

This is ridiculous LOL, I can see me walking in the bank with this on and getting arrested for covering up like a knight...
@ miko: start working!

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

LOL! Yes, you'd have to be careful wear your wore your helmet hat!

[nefhiriel.livejournal.com]

THE EPICNESS.

I. Can't. Even. <3

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

I know!!!!

[imbecamiel.livejournal.com]

*dies* That is... ridiculous... and also really kind of awesome. And also a surprisingly practical design, really.

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Awesomely ridiculous and ridiculously awesome. Yep. That covers it. LOL

[estelcontar1.livejournal.com]

Wonderfully dorky indeed!

[cairistiona7.livejournal.com]

Dorky can be so fun. :)
