Are you kidding - leave it as a yarmulke!
Tha's exactly what the world is missing, a Viking kippah!!

Yes, well, there are several problems with that:

1) Yarmulkes aren't Viking. (Yet.)
2) I'm going to be the one wearing it. There some evidence suggesting that Viking men *did* wear beanies, so I tried to interest Eric in wearing the finished product, but no dice. However, he did admit that the work in progress was "kinda admirable." I have no clue what he meant by this, and I'm not sure I want to know. :-)

So maybe you could be a Reformative Viking!? :-D

(Re: your husband's comment: sounds exactly like he
wants to compliment your work/skill without wanting
to sound like he wants to wear it, which he don't...!)

I suspect it's a bit worse than that. I suspect he thinks the darn thing looks a bit like a bowel movement, but he sees that I'm enthusiastic about the idea, so he doesn't want to hurt my feelings. (He knows me better than to suppose that if he complimented it that he'd automatically wear it.) ;-)

I can't see Eric in a beanie. I can imagine the concept of his wearing one, I just can't form the mental image of what he'd look like in it. My mental Photoshop ABENDs when it tries.
