He really really liked it!
Direct quotes from the man (all of these quotes were prior to him actually seeing the hat in person, only via the blog):
great job on the hat. it looks fucking awesome. we are the shit. especially you since you do all the hard work. and there’s no way you can shift the load onto me ’cause I ain’t no … knitter. nor will I be.
Think you might wear it?
think I might? I know I might! we’ll see how it looks on my mellon. I expect I will wear it. it looks great. I think it’s the best one yet.
And my favorite quote:
It looks fucking awesome! like I thought it would I might add. who is the man? it’s me, isn’t it? I am the man… oh, and you did an amazing job on it. it really looks great. you must be proud. I know I am.
And wear it he did. Not all night, but he kept putting it on and wearing it for short amounts of time. It’s baby alpaca, people and not quite cold enough right now to wear it for great lengths of time.
I have to say, I love a challenge and knitting for Scott was a challenge because, you know, his official title is Mr. Pickiest Man in the Universe. Anyway, his only complaint was that it was a little loose around the bottom. Next time I’ll make sure to do the ribbing with a smaller size needle. Other than that? HUGE SUCCESS. WOO HOO! I am the shit.
I can feel his enthusiasm! Good for him! It’s a cool design.
Oh yah, You Are. The Shit.
