Power outage on Sunday that lasted about 4 hours. Of course it had to happen just as it was getting dark.

Another Noro hat completed...I'm just cranking them out but I feel a bit guilty neglecting my socks in progress. Oh well, those are the whims of a knitter who has ADD with her projects. :)
The colors are a bit more subtle than the last hat but still very pretty and colorful. My bff Kat gave the hat an enthusiastic 2 thumbs up last night so that made me happy. I can easily use up stash yarn for this project too. I think I will keep this one for myself and make more later for the gift pile. :)

Another hat completed! The pattern is Riverbed Rib Hat from the Knit Noro Accessories book. This is a aran (?) weight yarn so this knit up in one day. The colors are stunning too. I think I need to block it to even out the stitches. It's so pretty to look at. :)

On Ravelry I belong to a fun group of hockey lovers called Puck This and this month is the Hat Trick KAL (knit a long) where we try to knit 3 hats. Hat trick, get it? No prizes, it's just for fun.
So I like knitting hats since they're quick and easy (for the most part) and they make great gifts. I wanted to give my nephew Anthony a hat for Christmas but none fit him right so maybe this one will be good.
It has the fitting name of Man's Hat from the magazine Knitsimple. I used up some yarn in my stash in manly colors and I think it looks quite nice. Tyler was a nice model today since I needed an adult sized head.

Trying to keep my head above water....with this 365 blog. I'm always behind but I'm trying.
So I took some pics of things I have and Quatchi happened to be nearby. He was one of the mascots of the Winter Olympics 2012 in Vancouver. He is so cute but the regular size of the plush stuffed animal was a bit expensive for my taste so the keychain version was the perfect size and price ($10). Sometimes I hang him on my messenger bag to add the cute factor.

Kathy and I hanging out in the luxury suite at Staples Center to watch the Kings game. Too bad they lost 1-0 to Columbus.
