And then a hat happened

A week or so ago, I ended up linking a friend to Pasante's glow-in-the-dark condoms. A conversation ensued, during which it became apparent that what I really wanted was a sex ed hat - something I could whip out of my bag, whack on my head, and dispense advice while wearing.
I discussed this with a handful of other people. Reactions were pretty equally split between "Oh god, you're actually going to wear that in public, aren't you," and "AWESOME! CAN I HAVE ONE?"
( The final product... [NSFW] )
I am particularly pleased by this project because (a) I feel I'm ~subverting cultural expectations~ by having my first ever pink project be this, (b) I went from concept to finished product in less than a week, which says good things for how the depression is doing at the moment, (c) I taught myself crochet specially, and (d) it displays some of the natural variation in bodies that frequently occurs but is rarely talked about. Not to praise myself too highly or anything ;)
