Fancy Hats are a Pain in the....

My latest project has been to craft my very first purple recipe, a level 38 tailoring recipe that creates a Velvet Headscarf.
I started out trying to gather the mats myself but after waking up with my keyboard stuck to my face and realizing that gathering is more boring than a lecture on the benefits of bran, I decided to hit up the auction house and support those players who have more tolerance for mind-numbing jobs.

Here is the final recipe:
2 yew plank (purple)
1 moon orchid extract (purple)
1 Dragon Bear Root plank (purple)
1 Pine Fiber (rare mat)
1 Velvet hood (blue)
1 Disenchant rune

To even make the blue velvet hood required me to make a green hood and a white hood, which also were loads of mats. I think I'm glad that I didn't keep track of how much money I spent in the AH buying the mats. It might have made me (more) crazy.

But I was determined to do this and finally got to the final step. Crossing my fingers and praying to almighty Pasper for a brown upgrade, I hit the Craft button.

This is what I got. Not bad. Gonna pop it in the AH and see if I can make back some of my gold. If it sells well, I might consider crafting another. Then again, I might also consider watching eight hours of the Parliament Channel too. Might be more fun.
