Hairball: Knitters Against Bush rally here

I finished my second bottom's up hat, in Rowan's Summer Tweed this time around--and this one even fits me. I made one out of Classic Elite's Flash specifically for the March, but it was too big, so I gave it to A. (see picture below--she's on the far left, also the only one with a hat). I had to do a lot of futzing to get the fit right, and I still don't like the brim, so one day, if I get un-lazy, I'll redo it. Before Bonne-Marie came out with this pattern, and after the sartorial disaster that was the Bucket o' Chic (for me, at least--I donated that hat to a charity auction and the person who bought it loves it), I thought about making up my own pattern, but I was too lazy and never got around to it. Now I've had to rework BUP enough that I might as well have done it myself the first time.in the first place.
