Okay, not to appear anal about this or anything, but this isnt a beanie. This is a touque. A beanie would have a propeller (okay, maybe not, he says with a grin, but has anyone ever seen a beanie worth its salt without one?), but its a half sphere like a baseball cap minus the brim. This, on the other hand, is a touque, a proud part of the Canadian tradition of ignoring winters worst. =) But I still like it anyway. =)
