I totally removed the P.S. and changed the last paragraph to read: This hat is a thank you for your service and for not having a "hot head". It is also an encouragement to continue with a calm, cool demeanor.
I called one of the district offices this morning and will be sending the hat and letter to them and they said they will send it on to Senator Conrad. It is so exciting to be part of something that blossomed from one person's idea into a nationwide grassroots knitters campaign. WooHoo!
This is my Finished Object. The Super Simple Shawl. The info can be found on Ravelry. The project traveled with DH and myself to Maui last month but we were so busy enjoying ourselves and the wonderful things there that I didn't knit a stitch! Just that it was in Maui and also the fact that 2nd DS & DDIL gave me the yarn makes this shawl extra special. :D
This picture was taken outside, late in the afternoon, in the shade, during the winter and so it has a bluish cast to it. Not true colors at all.
This is what it really looks like.
