Gentle Vortex
This pattern is available as a free Ravelry download
Very stretchy hat that will fit head of 20 to 24 inches easily. I may be adding a worsted version and a baby version. (For baby, simply use smaller needles, like size 5 and baby yarn).
UPDATED: See Feb 1, 2012 updated PDF.
ERRATA: Top of page 2, where it says "repeat rounds 8 and 9 until…. it should say ENDING WITH ROUND 8. When you end with round 8, the subsequent decrease rows will all start the decreases, each knit 2 together will be worked on a knit stitch. This is a small detail that improves appearance of the decreases.
I have not corrected this in the free PDF yet.

I've thought about this for a while. I watch Pewdiepie and Tobuscus and some others, just like a lot of people here. They play video games and commentate while doing them. Some channels talk about things relevant to gameplay while others just try to be funny, like the two I listed above. And I've thought to myself at times, "I could do that." I was wondering how many of you have thought about it as well? I even went so far as to look up the materials needed, like quality screen recording and the editing software... They were expensive. Another barrier in my way would be the fact that for the PC at least, I have no computer capable of running even the most simple modern games well enough. My PC cannot run WoW, Minecraft, you name it. Hell, it can barely even run The Walking Dead, and that has to be a resolution half my screen size with all minimum settings. Yet still the thought is in my mind, if only for my own enjoyment rather than anybody else's. And mind you, commentating isn't limited to games. You can commentate on TV commercials, television, books, movies, you name it! Games are just the common interest we all focus on here on Bnet! And speaking of equipment for it as I did earlier, you don't want to just get bare-bones, you know? I mean, we've all seen some pretty shoddy machinimas made after kids have watched Red Vs. Blue or Dues Ex Machina or the likes. Nobody wants to be put in the 'just another kid' category, so when you do do something you need to make sure it's done well. So again, how many of you have thought about it? Did you seriously consider it or was it only a dream, if anything? What made you stop? Or hell, have any of you actually succeeded? Do we have any quality Bnet commentators to look towards? What do you focus on, funny or relevant? do you just do games or have you branched out? If you're only one one genre, then why?

If you're a rank novice when it comes to wine — I mean, you really know absolutely nothing — then Jackson Meyer's primer, The Book of Wine, is as good a place as any to start — short of dropping in on your local wine bar, that is.
In a breezy 220 pages, Meyer covers, as the subtitle states, "an introduction to choosing, serving, and drinking the best wines." Best may be overstating things a bit. The book devotes more space to South Africa than to Napa and Sonoma (which are lumped together in a spare section in the "Wine Regions" chapter).
Meyer dutifully covers the basics — grape varietals, identifying flaws, what to do with a wine list (and I don't much agree with his advice here) — enough to get you at least to a $600 question in a Jeopardy! wine category. Less can be said for his often bizarre "recommended wines" which accompany the section explaining each major varietal. I'm unclear how recommending a bottle of Penfolds Grange 1998 (1998!) is going to benefit the novice wine drinker other than make him look like a rube at his local wine merchant.

The pending release of XFS 1.0.1 will be RH7.1 and 2.4.4 based, and will be based primarily on what is in the development tree... once the list or problems has been whittled down.

OUR MISSIONBYU seeks to develop students of faith, intellect, and character who have the skills and the desire to continue learning and to serve others throughout their lives. Likewise, the mission of the BYU football program is, "To be the flag bearer of Brigham Young University through football excellence, embracing truth, tradition, virtue and honor as a beacon to the world."
INNER STRENGTHA shared desire to "seek learning, even by study and also by faith" (D&C 88:118) knits BYU into a unique educational community. The intellectual range of a BYU education is the result of an ambitious commitment to pursue truth. Brigham Young University has always cared as much about strong moral character as about great mental capability.
LEARNING & SERVICEBy "entering to learn" and continuing to learn as they "go forth to serve," BYU students strengthen not only themselves - they "also bring strength to others in the tasks of home and family life, social relationships, civic duty, and service to mankind." BYU should inspire students to keep alive their curiosity and prepare them to continue learning throughout their lives.
A PLACE FOR WINNERSBYU is home to 63 All-America honorees, four College Football Hall of Fame members, a College Football Hall of Fame coach, the 1990 Heisman Trophy winner, the 2001 Doak Walker Award winner, four Davey O'Brien Award winners, two Outland Trophy winners, seven Sammy Baugh Trophy winners and a two-time National Coach of the Year winner.
PRO FOOTBALL PREPBYU football is a great place to launch an NFL career. Over the past 20 years BYU has had 48 players taken in the NFL draft, including 27 over the past 10 years. BYU also has had nine first-round draft picks. This year 21 former Cougars are on 13 NFL rosters--that's one of the most by any college team in the west once again.
SCHEDULE & OPPONENTSOver the past few years, BYU has won non-conference victories over top-ranked Miami (Fla.), Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Oregon, Washington, Washington State, Penn State, California, Texas A&M, Virginia, Mississippi State, Arizona State, Arizona, UCLA, Kansas State and Syracuse. Upcoming opponents include: UCLA, Washington, Boise State, Arizona State, Florida State and Army.
NATIONAL TV EXPOSUREWith 61 nationally and regionally televised games over the last six years, BYU football is in the spotlight. Thanks to a strong national following, a winning tradition, and the Cougars' high-profile future schedule, the national exposure of BYU Football is sure to increase. It's little wonder BYU Football has produced four of the top-10 largest audiences in ESPN history.
Few universities have a fan base as loyal, dedicated and die-hard as BYU. Cougar fans are some of the greatest fans on earth. Since 1982 BYU has consistently ranked among the top five in attendance in the West. Thanks to its affiliation with the LDS Church, BYU has a strong national and international following.
OUTSTANDING FACILITIESBYU football is home to clearly some of the nation's top football facilities. Upgrades include a two-story strength and conditioning center, the nation's largest indoor practice facility, football offices and team meeting rooms, leading edge athletic training facilities, football hall of fame and an upgraded game-day locker room at the 64,000-seat LaVell Edwards Stadium.
TRADITION & HONORSSince 1974 BYU has played in 26 bowl games, won a National Championship, claimed 22 Conference Championships and earned 16 national top-25 finishes, including four top-10 finishes. BYU has established itself as one of the top football programs in the West, winning nearly 80 percent of its conference games and 70 percent of all its games since 1972.

Friends ~ We apologize for the lack of posts here over the past couple of months! The school year has kept all of us Builders quite busy, leaving little time to sit down to write a thoughtful post. We pray that all of you are having a blessed Advent thus far, and we would humbly ask for your prayers for each of our families as well.Shifting gears...Yesterday, I heard a radio announcer say something that stuck with me: "What if cleaning out your house was less about getting rid of stuff and … [Read more...]
Cleaning Out Before Christmas
I am thrilled to announce the birth of our newest bundle of joy, Sophia Rose! She arrived on September 25th, a week past her due date, and weighed in at an even 8 pounds. We are all in awe of her cuteness and littleness, and even our only son, who was really pulling for a brother (after having 4 sisters!) can't get enough of her.For all of you who have been praying for our family during this pregnancy, thank you so much! We still can't believe that we get to have Sophia home with us - … [Read more...]
Can Kids Still Play Outside?
The issues brought up in this article in which a Texas woman was visited by CPS for allowing her child to play 150 yards from her house completely freak me out. I don't know any details about this particular case other than what is in the article, but I often have fears about letting me kids walk down to a neighbors house without me. What if someone calls the police? We have another homeschooled 10 year old on our street, and, yet, I worry about the consequences of them playing outside together … [Read more...]
Sibling Joking
This morning, I heard one of my children telling her siblings, "Guess what?! Mommy had the baby and she is awake downstairs right now!" To which I heard another sibling respond, "Really, the baby is here?! Really?!" Another child quickly chimed in to say, "No way, Mommy wouldn't be back from the hospital yet, don't believe her."Oh boy, the sibling love is strong at our house :) In all honesty, the excitement is building, and everyone is ready for this baby to arrive. All prayers for a … [Read more...]
Back To School Rules
Yesterday I packed up my boys, helped them buckle their belts and wipe their faces, and sent them off on their first day of school. It felt for a moment like the heavens parted and glory rained down upon my motherly soul. Thank you, Jesus! We made it. But what about the preparations?! How does a mother truly prepare for that first day of school without eventually wanting to pull her hair out? At one point, I was so frustrated buying school supplies, I was ready to quit and send my kids to school … [Read more...]
School's Out!
It's that time of year again - the end of school and the beginning of summer vacation! In all honesty, it starts feeling a bit like summer break once swim team starts in late April - the countdown begins when we start donning goggles and swimsuits every afternoon for swim practice. I told my son that I couldn't believe that he was going to be a 5th-grader next year, and that I was just getting used to the idea of him being a 4th-grader. He told me that I should start calling him a 5th-grader … [Read more...]
Vegetable Labor
Feeding family vegetables is hard work. Hard, but necessary, I get it.A combination of: being raised in California, reading Michael Pollan, and fulfilling the duties of an Army wife to keep her husband trim has honed my focus on getting fresh vegetables into my crew. Let's face it, men will only eat vegetables that are washed and cut and put in front of them. Also Texas Mommy forced me to make all my own baby purees, and, consequently all four children are great consumers of produce as well. … [Read more...]
Another One Year Old
Today, we are celebrating our daughter's first birthday. She is our fourth child, so we have a first birthday or two under our belts. Yet, every time we go through the one-year mark, I am amazed by how much I still have to learn about this stage (or every stage, for that matter). Is our house child-proof? I thought so, until two weeks ago when our little lady started furniture walking. What foods can make her choke at this stage? Never mind my medical training. Can I possibly make it thro … [Read more...]
Call Mrs. Piggle Wiggle!
My 8 year old son recently told me I needed to be more like Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle, who just understands children. In a certain sense I agree, I could be more patient and understanding at times, but with the huge caveat that I don't have a cupboard full of magic potions to cure many childhood bad habits.We have been going through a "Heedless Breaker" stage (if you are familiar with the Mrs. Piggle-Wiggle stories), and, while I am all for natural consequences, the bill for all the things broken r … [Read more...]
Virtue is Beautiful
My kids and I love the original version of this song, yes we are all saps, and I appreciate the spirit behind this version put together by some Mormon guys. What do you think? Pre-teen swoon potential for our girls as they learn to treasure their dignity in a broken culture? Or too ironic and silly to convey a delicate message about beauty and virtue? … [Read more...]
