Black and White
Ya know, I really didn't think I'd get it finished before the end of winter.
I was wrong.
Yup, a Koolhaas, with Kat hair, on a Kanister, by the Kerb.
Once I saw these start to appear in blogland in black, I was hooked, and I don't even wear black. I mean, I have some black pants, and some black shoes, but that's about it. For some reason, this resonated.
I made the larger size, so it would keep my ears and forehead covered when I'm using winter's other ultimate accessory.
Since we keep getting more and more of this stuff.

Very nice! Looks great on you! The red shovel is the perfect accent! Your deck looks like MY deck!!!
Wow..um..a bit of snow there! Well your new fab hat will keep you warm! :)
that is one sweet hat! happy Digging!
I love a man who knows how to accessorize.
That's a lotta snow! Good thing you have a hat!
The hat turned out nicely. Good job! Now ... looks like you need to head out with that snow shovel.
This looks great! Very... Kute?
When you're finished your shoveling, feel free to come by and take care of mine, too! :0) I've decided to pretend it's not there, and knit green things until I see some for real.
What a great hat! Matches the shovel perfectly. :-)
very kool!!
Wow! that is an amazing hat. looks great on you. Nice shovel too :)
wow that hat looks great on you, you did a fab job on it. And that snow! Amazing to live where it snows like that..
Must make one - yours is great! Was it rough on the hands, being a finer gauge with thicker yarn?
That's a handsome hat indeed! And looks appropriately warm, too.
Very nice, Dave. You got it finished just in time to enjoy wearing it a bit before Spring arrives (it will).
The photo with the shovel was very Grant Woodish.
That is such a great design, and your version looks very nice. What yarn did you use for it?
It looks great. Here's hoping you won't have to wear it for too much longer (at least for this winter)!
LOL @ your other winter accessory!! :o)
Yep that was real smart to have it cover your ears! Haha!
Seems like you WILL get use out of it while the last few snowfalls happen!
Stay KOOL over there! ;o)
That photo is very American Gothic. I really like the hat in black.
We match! I love your black Koolhaas, but then I love mine!!!
And yes, it's a challenge to knit, huh?
Your red shovel is perfect...hope you don't have too many more opportunities to use it, but maybe a little longer to wear the hat?
((((hgus))))
I don't know how you find time to knit with all the shoveling you must be doing! The hat looks great, nice choice :)
Kool hat! And sexy shovel.
What can I say that hasn't already been said?
I know! Nice shovel. Looks new.
Woah, your Koolhaus kicks, um...kaboodles. Yeah.
looks really nice in black!!
Wow - this is really beautiful. What yarn did you use for this? It turned out great, and looks fabu on you, too! :)
Perfect accessories. But what's all that white stuff out there ;-)
Great hat, great fit, and great pic!
That is some serious snow out there. Good thing you have such a snazzy hat to keep you warm!
Ah, it's beautiful. And it looks reallly good on you, too. Bonus!
Very handsome hat! Looks like you need it with all the white stuff.
Kool hat. And you didn't even get to turn a heel.
I think black looks fine on you! And you did a great job as always. I'd heard Canada has had a lot more snow recently. Hope you soon get some spring warmth!
Very nice. You got to wear the hat in the snow. Now if the snow would just go AWAY. *whimper*
And it's still March - that stuff can keep coming. Very nice hat
Koolhaas looks great! The snow will go away soon, I promise. Down here we're having a downright balmy week so far.
it looks fantastic! suprising how well the pattern still shows up on black.
My goodness you do look familar to me in that picture, must remind me of someone around here just can't put my finger on it.
I am SO tired of snow! GAH!
In other news...I love your hat! I've been scheming about hats to make for my Dave and this might be just the ticket. Just the right amount of texture.
Speaking of Dave -- I've got a pair of socks on the needles for him, finally. Thanks again for all of your help! I've just turned the heel on a pair of Stansfield #10s in Trekking Pro Natura (blue and green). So far, so good!
Love the hat! How much snow can continue to fall?! Enough already! I feel bad for Ontario/Quebec/NB, its just been crazy.
The hat looks great and I'm jealous of your large red snowshovel. Next year I'm buying one of those. This year, if it snows any more I'm shutting the curtains and going back to bed until it melts.
That hat looks nice and warm, and it seems you really needed it (not to mention that shovel---what a lot of snow!)
To quote yourself "I feel your pain"
The hat looks great! Wow, you guys do have a lot of snow. I know back home in NB they've gotten TONS of it...I kind of miss it (I know, I'm sick), especially since they barely got any here in Korea.
Love the hat , looks great on you ! Hope you can put that shovel away soon .
Fantastic job and fit on your hat!
awwww. it looks gr8!
i could kick myself for not buying that issue of interweave.
That looks fabulous even though you seldom wear black! Form and function. It's great when it works both ways :-) Great knitting!
oh wow, that looks GREAT on you and nice and warm too:)
Love it!! And you've certainly got the snow to enjoy it for a while too!
Bravo :-D
I absolutely love that hat. I am going to have to make one. I am sure it will keep you warm as you shovel.
I made one of theese to.In a kind of blue.I want one in red or black but here in Denmark there is no snow this year.Just rain and grey clouds.
Gitte from Denmark
Great hat! I'm glad we're done with that snow stuff in my neck of the woods. (Hopefully!)
So we have a new answer to the old joke: What's black and white and red all over? Dave in his black hat carrying his red shovel in the snow. Love the hat!
I didn't think the Koolhaas would look good in black. I figured the cables would be lost... but, it looks great! I think I might have to do one in black now. =)
Cool hat Dave. [I've never seen so much snow in my life!]
winter's ultimate accessory - you crack me up!!
Fabulous hat Dave - I have been itching to make this pattern too!!
Hee. :)
Great hat!
It is now April 19 and snow is forecast here in YVR, while I hear you are basking in the sunshine. At least it's good knitting weather.
I see I wasn't the only one who got an "American Gothic" vibe from the photo of the hat/shovel! (Kay's comment above)
My knitting pal made two Koolhaas hats this winter. She picked up knitting over the winter and jumped right into sweaters, hats, cables, etc. I was showing her on the Rav how many people had made the hat and she was amazed!
Yours is amazing, too!
