well i have a knitted beanie right
and its blue and white and its AMAZING!!
but i want something darker now, like black and a lighter tone, like gray or sommin...



this is on sale @ urban outfitters, and i love that store, but its in NYC, and to ship it out here is 30! so even tho it's on sale for 7summin im still paying 40$ for the hat!


so here's what i'm asking:
does anyone know any good stores online that dont shake u out for shipping and that have reasonably priced hats like that?

OR

does anyone know how to MAKE these? with the visor n everything? i want to learn now 2 knit but im sure i wouldnt perfect my technique before school starts (i wanted to get it before i move to school) i would totally pay for it so long as it's a reasonable price, and on top of that, it would be nicer cuz it's handmade

oh COME on!

I got an idea for ya Sammi. Go to your local fabrics store n they should be able to advise you for sure ...or ask your nana maybe!! Some nanas love a little challenge, and with that visor that may just be the thing she's looking for!! Dependz though. I wish i could help you darlz!

SammiJ said:

Damn!! Any of her friendz!! Ask her, you never know Sammi!! Do you have any cool fabric or knitting storez around? Seriously- you should consider giving it a shot if you like, not only will you get the hat you want but if anybody askz ya you can tell em you made it yourself!

lilmissmissy said:

thats true but it would take a lot of practice to get it that nice
and i get too frustrated LOL

guess i'll just shop around some more

Try going to a yarn or craft store and ask them if they know anyone who would make it for you. They probably know someone who would love to do it and it wouldn't take very long. Hopefully way cheaper than $40, but then it would be a one of a kind.

I'm like that too, don't worry If i can't get something right in one hit it takez me agez to go back to it and try at it again

There has to be a less dearer way of you getting a hat like that, there just has to be!! If i see one around here in OZ i'll hit you with a note okay There'z a store here called Dangerfield that i reckon could have the sorta thing you're after. And it won't be that dear either- their accessories are like $25 max usually!! Where else...is it sold by an online store or is it a little business? Cause if it's by a store, perhaps you could do a bit of googling to find out who the stockists are and whether you can buy it cheaper from them instead?

$40's a lot to pay out of season for a knit hat, no matter how fly it is.

You can get something like that at a hippie boutique (my nickname for stores that specialize in patches, tie dyes, incense and silver jewelry ) for cheap. And, even if it's not there, I'm sure the salespeople would help you order a comparable cap for about half that $40.

I used to love a store like that, back East. *homesick sniffle*
