The hat is DONE! Beanie Quest is OVER, I have done it, I have acquired the perfect black summer beanie and I just had to crochet it myself. It is comfy as heck and I can't believe it worked out — I didn't use a pattern, just kinda did half a gauge swatch and crunched some numbers lmao.

Okay this pic came out pretty decently, so behold: my first crochet project! A beanie in Tunisian knit stitch, to approximate the last knitting project I had to abandon due to pain. Despite its color this SHOULD be a decent summer beanie — not too dense fabric, and made of a linen/cotton blend.

"There is a sadness in this world, for we are ignorant of many things. Yes – we are ignorant of many beautiful things. Things like the truth. [...] Then the day when the sadness comes. Then we ask, 'Will the sadness which makes me cry [...] will it ever end?' The answer, of course, is yes..."

I don't look at images of space nearly enough... I'm missing out on stuff like this??
