Thanksgiving Weekend = TRIUMPH

After an incredibly zany day-before-Thanksgiving (it was my birthday) and Thanksgiving day morning (I marched in the parade!!) and approximately four hours of sleep on Tuesday and Wednesday nights combined... I picked the hat back up during appetizers. It started to go really fast, it was exciting. I took a break on Friday morning to not only catch up big time on sleep but to work on some things for my two craft shows next weekend.


A veritable rainbow of collage picture frames...


Saturday...



Some yarn, some Lost... Sweet.


Hi Jack!!



I kept going and now it's Sunday and I'm back at school...

Watchin' Top Chef Season 2...






Gettin' tiny!!


Last row!!!!!




And so I tied off the hat with the pompom!! I didn't get to stop and take any pictures, because it's kind of a delicate process. Basically I cut off a longish end, and pulled that and the ends of the pompom through the stitches at the top. Wove everything in, tied off ends, trimmed... And voila!!




I actually had a lot of fun making this hat, I really thought I was going to hate it. At the same time, I'm really happy it's finished, because I REALLY need to work on Christmas presents... =) I'm going to take a break tonight from the yarn-ing, but tomorrow.... It's off to scarfville.
