The Five Hour Hat Challenge

For this last business trip I had to take a five hour flight.  Upon realizing that I really didn't have a chic hat to keep me warm, I decided to give myself a challenge to knit myself a hat during the five hour flight.

Here we go!

Hour 0 - the supplies:

 

Hour 1 - the brim.... hmmm... don't panic

Hour 2 - The second color, but not much progress: 

 

Hour 3 - Now this is looking like progress!

 

Hour 3.5 - Ready to focus on the brim: 

 

Some serious shell action: 

 

Except, what's that? 

 

Hour 3.5 + 2 minutes: 

 

But all is not lost.

Hour 5 - An (improvised) hat! 

And yes, I did get an awkward "what's the weird woman doing?" smile from the car rental lady. 

More on that "hat" later!
