{$#@ %$$%#@ !!!}

I knit a hat. A cute hat. A cute hat on the person who wrote the pattern. I'm no so sure about on me.

It didn't help that the thing was HUGE...
It didn't help that I decided to soak it even though I knew it was HUGE.


Oh. You noticed the WAS in there, did you?

Yep. Here it is now:

Remember it looked like this:

It now looks like this:
Someone PLEASE tell me that this is not permanent and that it'll poof back up and be like it was. I didn't use a whole hank for the hat - and I have a small ball left over.

I had planned on letting this dry, using the other hank for something different for my head - and then knitting this and the leftovers up into a one skein scarf. Am I making a mistake here?

On the "something new for my head" thing: Can anyone suggest a pattern for one skein
(108 yds) on size 10 needles (it's what I have here, and I don't want to drag both kids to Joanns in the snow).

Does anyone know if I can make it work as a Calorimetry or something similar?
