A Weird Beard....Do You Know This man?

.................Actually, some of my friends will recognise DH, featured here modelling my version of 'The Beard Hat'

A few weeks ago a friend of mine, the Hypno God, from Texas sent me a picture via Facebook of a 'cool' hat (his words not mine) he had found whilst browsing. As Texas isn't known for it's cold weather I don't think he wanted one unless it was for one of his trips to Alaska where his lovely wife comes from. 

Anyway, as you know I like a challenge - The hat part was of course quite straightforward but my first beard could only be described as SCARY, the shape and size was fine but the colour was just so wrong. I had chosen a sort of beige/taupe colour but this made DH look so much like Hannibal Lecter it was unnerving.

Time for plan B - a quick visit to the head of the Knitterati in her Yarnery this afternoon scored me a full ball of Patons Tundra in the best beard colour ever (Bless You Carol, I don't know how I would manage without you), a few minor adjustments made to my scribbled pattern to allow for a thicker yarn, slightly late dinner and here you go:-

Now this is COOL with a great big C.

Hope it makes you smile, it's certainly given us a chuckle or two. 

Thanks of course to DH for a wonderful modelling job :0)
