My boss is super g33ky. He’s highly intelligent and technically proficient, and can just about run the Technical Services department by himself. Also, he knows everything there ever was to know about Star Wars. Super g33ky!
When I saw this binary hat pattern a couple of months ago, I knew it had to be his birthday present. The pattern is from Redshirt Knitting, the yarn is my favorite — Mission Falls 1824 Wool in gray (003) and green (016), and I knit it on size 8 circular needles while on a four-day weekend trip to my cousin’s wedding.
My boss totally geeked out when he found out that the stripes spelled out his name in binary code. I was really pleased with how it all came out, too. Next time, though I might skip the extra 1″ of solid stockinette suggested for the boy version. I think it woulda been just fine without it.
I love this hat, but the next project I have to show you is the coolest thing I’ve ever knit. Stay tuned!
