Wow, does this make me feel the passage of time! When orcas wore dead fish hats, many years ago we knitters made Dead Fish Hats. Well, that trend has come back for orcas. Should we make the hats again? livescience.com/animals/orcas/ trend

Live Science · Orcas start wearing dead salmon hats again after ditching the trend for 37 yearsBy Sascha Pare

@Sarah
Oh dear, somehow I missed this orca trend the first time around!

But just the other week I saw a fantasy anime where there was a profession that wore animal hats, like cat hats and chicken hats (translated from Japanese as "cat chapeau" (French for hat))

@gannet That is the pattern. Maybe it was first somewhere else. I am not sure. I think there is a crochet version too somewhere on Rav.

@Sarah
🥥 Eye'm NOT a knitter, Sarah, but may Eye pleez vote, "Yes," for bringing back orca fish-hats? 🥥

@Sarah The dead fish hat was what really got me back into knitting. 😝
