Helmet Head

Clearly, I have had a case of the mid-Summer blues when it comes to blogging. There's been plenty going on and lots of knitting progress being made, but I'm just not very inclined to type about it. BUT. BUT! I had to stop in and share this.

I was scrolling around through some Fall patterns last night because, you know, I need to find more patterns to add to my queue of 158 like I need another hole in my head.

Anyway, any other internet-using knitter should agree that every now and then you come across some flat out QUESTIONABLE designs (see: The Great Rowan mess of 2006.) But this one almost made me spit my drink out.



I am seeing this right, aren't I? Does it really look like a helmet? Is that a mock-ponytail made out of yarn? Are those two separate pieces REALLY meant to be worn together?

So confused.
