The yarn: Lamb's Pride Worsted, Orange You Glad
It took me three fun days to knit - my first attempt at circular needles. EarthHeart Designs saved me there, with their handy tip to make the circle smaller with a double-pointed needle. First I had to uncurl grandma's long curly plastic needles. Running them through hot water water was not enough for these...maybe they were too old and stiff. A quick swish in just boiled water and then a run of cold tap water did the trick. Yay!
As usual, the pattern threw me a little and I had to bluff for part of it. The resulting hat is a little large even on my big head, so I hope it fits RayRay! It's *awfully* comfortable to wear though and if she doesn't want it, I do! I heart orange. :)
What have you been up to?

What a cute hat!!! Oh, and that orange - I usually don't like orange, but this shade is purdy sweet.
And I'm going to have to keep my eyes peeled for the colored masking tape.
Cute! I really like hats and orange, too . . . they're a great combination!
Me? I'm not doing much other than working on *the project*, but we did have company yesterday. That was probably our last full-day break, though, as there are deadlines! ;) Shhh . . .
Love,

The hat is very pretty...the orange is perfect for autumn and the shade of orange is delightful! The photography is lovely, too!
What have I been up to? We started homeschooling again on Monday, so it has been pretty busy!
Have a pleasant day, delighting in the Lord!
