I modified this pattern: http://www.knittingonthenet.com/patterns/hatrollbrim.htm
with a few purl rows and then I decreased every row, trying to get a hat out of one ball of yarn.

But I guess doing a good deed doesn’t protect you from this:

The day before my 30th birthday we went out to the car to go the farmer’s market and my radio was gone. It took a minute to realize they must have used a Slim Jim or similar tool to go through the window and unlock the door. I guess it could have been worse… how many people get their car broken into with little damage to the car? There are a few scratches on the door where they shoved the tool in and you can see the scratches on the dash where they pried the radio out.

A few lessons here:
1. Don’t leave your radio faceplate in the glove compartment.
2. Get your car alarm fixed when it breaks. I did not. Now I feel stupid.
3. Don’t think stuff in your trunk is safe
4. Keeping the inside of your car clean with a club on the steering wheel and the radio faceplate in the glove compartment is obviously not enough of a deterrent for a break-in.
5. Even a 1999 car can be unlocked with a Slim Jim.

But let’s look on the bright side, I get a new car radio for my birthday! The car wasn’t stolen or broken! I did have a nice birthday, my friend and her kiddoes came over for a nice breakfast. Then Ron and I went over to San Francisco to enjoy the day. We ended up at Coit Tower on Telegraph Hill and the Marina to watch a sailboat race and the fog roll in. Later we had a yummy dinner at Furenzu.
