Off the Needles (Previously Happy Thanksgiving)

It's been busy around here so far this week.  We had choir last night instead of our usual Thursday practice and also spent the afternoon volunteering at the UW hospital.  The day before we made an unanticipated trip over to Magnolia to help with these two. No wonder time flies, eh?

And I was worried this hat would be too big!  Max's hat looks cute, too, only he didn't hold still long enough for a photo.  Opa managed to slow him down for a little while though. That's his Mariner's hat in case you wondered.

I did manage to finish two more hats from the alpaca stash provided by DD#2.  The color on this one is interesting.

The braid at the bottom of this hat caught my attention when I found this pattern called Watkin. It was a fun knit although I had to modify the pattern to work with this thinner yarn. (If you want to see what others are knitting, check out Patchwork Times.)

OK, so much for my brief respite.  It's back to work.  Hope all of you who celebrated Thanksgiving had a wonderful day.  It's a good thing to think about your blessings, isn't it?  And a good week to all of you.  Can you even believe it's almost December?
