Charlene,
Well, you certainly can't blame the hat for walking out the door!    Seriously, I can sure understand why your friend wanted it!
Thank you also for posting the kitty pics...I NEVER tire of seeing cuties!

The hat walked out the door on a friend's head before I could take another picture.  Will get pictures of the next ones.  Take a look at the photos of my cats, which I will post directly.

Charlene,
You're very welcome!  I have to say, this design looks outstanding as it is!  I can't wait to see the narrowed tab. 
Will your nieces be modeling this particular design?

Many thanks.  I'll be posting more pictures soon.  Once I narrowed the tab (beige yarn) it looked much nicer.  I was very pleased with how it looked on a person.

Charlene,
I'm SO sorry I missed these pics the day they were posted and VERY glad you mentioned them!  This is so different and absolutely GORGEOUS!  I bet you could make a lot of sales of this design.  I NEVER see hats this outstanding anywhere.
Once more, EXCELLENT work, SuperKnitter!
