I'm on holidays at the moment, hence the hiatus ... But as I sit here knitting by the fire at the delightful Huskisson B&B , I've remembered my 1 Across Beanie. It is a crossword beanie pattern I designed, which is published on the free online knitting magazine, Knitty. So, if it's heading into winter where you live, as it is here in Australia, and you're a knitter, you might like to give it a whirl! There are a couple of design variations, and you can choose an American style crossword grid, or a British style grid. My gorgeous daughter Jen is the model ... And yes, she's wearing a wig ;)   1 Across on Knitty.com 1 Across on Ravelry The Ravelry page has a smaller size variation, as the original design is rather large.
