Happy and a Hat

 

 

 

 

Last week was my birthday...thanks for all the birthday wishes on FB and Twitter, by the way.  It was sweet of all of you to take time out to do that and your efforts were appreciated.  My husband, Dave took me for a 2 hour kayak tour at the Assateague State Park.  It couldn't have been a more perfect day to explore the natural habitat and the wild horses that live there.  We had a small group and the friendly staff of Super Fun Eco Tours gave a relaxing and educational tour.  It was a nice way to spend a beautiful
autumn day.

 

 

A little something I've been working on...this one will not have the pompom as pictured below from the original pattern.

Life of a knitter department:

I received a special request from my husband's college aged daughter to make a hat for the boyfriend.  He wanted a hat like the improvised one I made for her, only in black and white.  Roxy's styling the new hat for you - the boyfriend is out of state, so I wasn't able to get him to model it.  Hopefully, he'll receive it just in time for the next winter blast and enjoy wearing it.

That's all for now - I'm going back to the playoffs. 

Go Steelers!
