Here's a hat I made with leftover yarn from the poncho:


I love this yarn. I'm considering making another poncho from it (different pattern, different color).

Isn't it awesome? They have it in a nice blue, too.

And here I was feeling all sorts of productive for casting on for a new hat! (And I *might* have it finished in time for next winter.)

One of my very favorite colors!

I would be very interested in purchasing a hat like this, especially if had a foldable bottom. :D

It's one of my favorites, too. The manufacturer misspelled it "fucsia," which I thought was kind of cute ;)

Hmm, I guess an inch longer would make it foldable...

And a nice, tasteful pom-pom never hurts...

Heh. I haven't done one of those yet ;) But I have books that tell you how to do it.

I went on a pom pom kick last Christmas and made them to attach to everyone's gifts instead of bows. It wasn't that hard to make the poms, but trimming them makes a big mess.

I love the pattern on this one. When I tried the seed stitch it seemed like it took FOREVER to get done...back and forth and back and forth with the yarn. But I love the look when it's finished. :)

Kitkat - I hope so ;)

Roxanne - I know what you mean. I definitely wouldn't want to make a sweater in seed stitch ;) I like the way it looks too, though.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t...

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.

Eventful

A lot has happened today already. I went to meet D for lunch and along the way I spotted a Boston terrier -- one blue eye, one brown. I stooped to pat it and then I heard an ear-bruising screech!! Everyone's head whipped around. Even the dog jumped. A taxi had squealed to a halt and there was a delivery boy on its hood. Somebody yelled, "Call an ambulance!" The boy seemed fine, even hopping on his bike to finish his deliveries -- but everyone persuaded him to stay. I took out my cell phone but another woman was already giving details to 911. After the woman finished the call, I was satisfied that help was on its way, so I continued. There were a bunch of rubberneckers/supporters gathered around the boy, so he wasn't alone. The dog stayed too. I was shaken by this, of course, but then something amusing happened. A few blocks later, I knelt down to pat a beagle tied outside a coffee shop, and it let loose with this big mournful howl: AROOOO. Everyone smiled, including a...
