Playing Favorites

The weather has been cold, and one of my favorite hats has gone missing.  I don't usually panic when something is missing.  Most missing objects surface eventually.  But this hat has been missing for several weeks now, and I can't recall when I last saw it.

Yesterday I decided to speed up the recovery process by knitting a new hat.  My theory is that surely the missing hat would make an appearance once I had a replacement on the needles.

So far the magic hasn't worked.  That's OK.  I really like this new hat. It just might be my new favorite.
