The Lyra hood/hat is everywhere (okay, so I exaggerate so sue me) - First, I saw it on craftzine and a clever knitter (Froggie Meanie) had created her own pattern and now Lion Brand yarn has posted a free pattern - and pictures of the Lyra hood are popping up all over the place.
Oh, perhaps you don't know what I am talking about - in the book "The Golden Compass", (recently released as a movie which I have not and probably will not see), the hero of the book is a girl named Lyra. Apparently in the movie she wears a hat which has captured the knitting world's imagination and now everyone is making it and posting about it. Okay maybe not everyone, but it is out there people!
Here is a picture from Zakka Life. On Zakka Life, I like the sumo wrestler doorstop as well!
I think the pattern on Lion Brand yarn comes in an adult size... Yes, I want one. Perhaps I will make one while I am on vacation.
By the way, the book "The Golden Compass" is excellent. I highly recommend it! The author is Philip Pullman and is the first book in the His Dark Materials trilogy.

Confession is good for the soul! So you noticed it too! And besides there is no shame - except my own because you beat me to it!
