Skull Hat! SKULL HAT!

I was hesitant to post this intially, because really, I don't much care for "HEY GUYS LOOK WHAT I FOUND" posts. But this lil' guy was so cute that I just couldn't resist.

For a little background, I love skull stuff. It's not meant to be a macabre fascination, it's not me trying to be somehow edgy or gothy or whatever you want to claim, I just like skulls. They're neat-looking and structurally fascinating. I have a skull shirt that's among my favourites, I sleep in skull pajama pants...and now I have a skull hat.

I picked up this little cutie at Seattle's historic Pike Place Market a couple days back...they're made by a local crafty gal (Lynn Rosskamp) out of recycled/repurposed fleece, which is awesome, and she has hojillions of designs, all equally adorable--pandas, monsters, unicorns, cats, cows, zombies, pirates, orcas, elephants...the spectrum is wide. If you're ever in the area, pick one up, or at least stop by the booth. Lynn's company, PingiHats, currently has a website but no shopping cart functionality...yet. They're working on it. In the meantime, this little guy will definitely be warming my head come wintertime.

I think I will call him Yorick.
