I'm going back and forth between that one and this one, and am making good progress on both.
As if that weren't enough, while I was FFITS yesterday, after Amy had left I was eating my hamburger and chatting with someone I'd met there. In the course of the conversation, I mentioned that I pretty much only knit hats any more. She said she doesn't wear hats enough to justify knitting them, so I told her I found a charity to donate mine to.
She gestured to my hat -- the one pictured above -- and said, "You knit hats for charity out of high end yarn?"
"Oh, no!" I replied. "That one is for someone in my family. It's going to be a Christmas gift. I make charity hats out of Red Heart or Lion Brand, or something."
I was remembering that conversation this afternoon, and realized I'd only knit one hat so far this year for the Seaman's Church Institute, so naturally, I cast one on real quick.
I did go back to my knit-on cast on, instead of doing the Chinese Waitress. It's so much easier, and for charity...well, I got lazy. I'll do better next time.
In other news, I don't recall if I told you that I'd finished the Song Of Albion trilogy or not, but I did. Then I started reading the Ship Of Brides, and also this one: 48 Liberal Lies About American History. 
It's pretty interesting, but the title is a bit misleading. A lot of them are liberal lies, but a good many are also far right conspiracy theories -- which he debunks as well. I kind of wish he were a bit more detailed with some of them, but they're all well researched and annotated.
That's about all I have for today. I'd planned on building a little fire in my fire pit and sitting out in my Adirondack chair reading for a good bit of the day, but it has also rained for a good bit of the day, off and on. Instead, I sat inside and read, then finished my letter to my one and only pen pal, then watched TV and knit a bit.
Not a bad way to spend a Sunday.
