Although, if my sisters read this post, they'll roll their eyes and snicker at the lameness in my weekend, so I'll have you know that some of the knitting took place while watching Alien 4 and the Saturday Red Sox vs Yankees game (RS won).
The end product is this::
I'm in love with this hat. It's cozy with a fun design. Stats ~
Pattern:: Foliage, Fall Knitty 07
Yarn:: Malabrigo Worsted Weight in Applewood
Modifications:: I went down a needle size (from 7 to 6) in order to make the gauge. I also added about five rows to the ribbing, it still felt a bit short with the 7 rows that the pattern called for.
~ Off to get my measles shot (How often do you hear that?)

i love what you did with the malabrigo, it looks delightfully cozy. measle shot? shots suck..you should get yourself a treat for having to go thru that. :)
Did you use a whole skein of the Malabrigo? Er, what's your headsize, if I may ask? (Trying to do a little research for a future object:-)
Thanks, and nice hat! Looks warm.
