I wake up Sunday mornings and check Post Secret first thing. Gets my Friday started right.
I'm thinking of quitting smoking again.
I'm thinking of starting my own business.
I'm thinking of a lot of things. I hope I can do something more.
Finished Nancy's cowl, fitted the MoHat on Brandon and got past the rib of Amelia's hat.

MoHat Fini!
Well- I hope it works. I think it will. I love the color, which did not show up in the picture. It's a lovely violet, not washed out blue as it appears. I started Amelia's pink and green- just barely have it cast on, starting the first row. In the middle of Nancy's and unraveled my cowl to start a new one on a new set of bamboo needles which may be great. I don't know. It's all a crap shoot!
The maroon hat for Pam looks better on the dummy than in person. Hope her daughter has a small head!

Nancy's Cowl
I am working away diligently. As with the other couple cowls I made, I wonder about the diameter...I think it's about right. Just have to make it long enough to work into a hood. Really, they are great to wear. I might make mine over, it's very good yarn, just a bit wide.

Paying Gig
Finished the brown slouch hat and started the one that will be red black and tan. I hope she likes them. I'm pleased with the brown one, still need to tuck in all the ends.

MoHAT!
Oh, woe is me! The Mo Hat, for my favorite mohawk wearing tech Brandon is being...difficult. Upside, nearly finished with the gloves for Mara, (Just need to sew in thumbs) sitting here with the yarn picked out for Pam's hats- one shades of brown, the other burgundy black and maybe beige. But, though the little hat knitter circulars are sitting here on my laptop, I still look at the mohat- which looks like a weird train wreck off needles, sitting in the basket with a bunch of other stuff.
I think I need to do some revamping. I had the idea to make flame-like points which would narrow to the top of the head and come together like...I dunno. Like something that would let Brandon's magnificent 'hawk shine through.
Lost a yellow dpn and then found it. I am so pitiful!
We had performance artist David Garibaldi at the casino last night. He was amazing!

Gracie's Hat
The simple blue and white hat made Gracie's day and mine.
Started Brandon's Mo hat, trying to cast on Mara's other freakin' glove, and Pam asked me to make 2 hats for her daughter who lives up in the north country. Busy busy busy!
I have been happy knitting. I am so glad I have a craft that is practical, pretty and transportable. I can't rave on the subject enough!

Hats
Finished Jessica's hat, a hat for Brad the tech and the blue and white for Gracie. Made some little green booties because I only had green with me and had a brainstorm for some black heavy metal baby booties- might be really cute!
Still working on Mara's gloves......finished with one except for the thumb.
The FF scarf, well that's ongoing project I turn to when I don't have anything else on my needles. It's hideous~looks nothing like the pattern! But, it's a learning experience and I don't think I could do anything else with that fine baby yarn.
