Every year, it's the same thing...

I promise myself that I'm just going to *buy* Christmas presents. And then the requests start rolling in. After seeing Mister Munchkin's battle bonnet, Miss E started asking for a "bluuooo hat" for herself. How could I resist? So I took her into the stash room (shuddup), and let her pick out a yarn. Voila, here's the resulting hat.



Apparently, she does know the difference between blue and pink...but insists that this is a bluuuooo hat. I dunno. The inner workings of a toddler's brain are a mystery at the best of times. The pattern is the Iceland Earflap Hat, and it's knit in Pupillo, a bulky yarn from the discount area of WEBS. Why yes, I am a sucker for a bargain. Just don't ask how many balls of this stuff I have now - it's a touch embarrassing.

I've been working on another Odessa in silk for me Mum, and it's tearing up my hands something awful. *sad panda moment* Hopefully, I'll be able to finish it SOON, 'cause I still have a hat to knit for my Dad before November. Yikes. And one final hat request from the Mister...he wants a Jayne hat. So, what's that bring my hat total up to for the holidays? Eight? I think? Time to bust out the gift certificates, methinks...
