What's on the needles

dragovianknightSince I don't have anything interesting to post, let me show you white_aster's half finished dragon hat.
I took the hat outside to take a pic, so of course the sun decided to bleach out most of the color. XP
A pic I took with the hat draped over my laptop, with somewhat more accurate colors.
The pattern is, mostly, the Dragon Hat from Morehouse Farm. By which I mean, I looked at how the spikes were made, said, "Oh good gods, why didn't I think of that?", and proceeded to make a hat without looking at the pattern again. The yarn in Lion's Tweed Stripes in Athena (no, you can't make me feel guilty for knitting with acrylic yarn), knit on size 8 needles. And if you think the spikes are all different sizes...yes, the spikes are all different sizes, from the nine stitch "nub" at the front to the nineteen stitch third spike, and back down to thirteen for number four. The spikes will continue to taper down until I decide it's done.
