Yarnz!!! And A Hat

A few days ago, my buddy Sue offered up this hank of yarn for swap. Since I'd never tried Wollmeise, I took her up on the offer, and sent her a hank of my Cherry Tree Hill Sockittome Select in exchange. Well, it arrived today!

Thanks Sue! I'm slowly accumulating more solid color sock yarn, because I have so many patterns I want to knit that really need solid yarns. I guess I'd better get to knitting.

I'm feeling like my brain is slowly waking up after my two month long ordeal with my *ahem* girl problems. I decided to keep my doctor's appointment, though, since I still feel that something just isn't right in there. I'm still having significant cramping, and some localized pain.

Um, I didn't mean to get off on that tangent...How did I get there anyway? Oh, yeah, I was going to say that while my brain was in its semi-dull state, I'd somewhat lost interest in doing most things, including knitting. Now that my brain seems to be waking back up, I'm back to knitting.

Which segues nicely into this:

I finished my hat. This is it in its pre-blocked state.  Charlotte was kind enough to model it for you, even though it's a tad large for her head.  It's a simple basket weave pattern in baby blue Cascade 220 Superwash. It may go into the Navy box, or it may end up being a Christmas present. You just never know.

Squeaky says, "My mousie needs a hat, too."

We got off early from work today.  I came home, ate a bite of lunch, then headed to Wal-mart to get my shopping done before everyone else got off work.  After I finished that, I tried to call and make an appointment for my root canal, only to discover that the Endodontic office had closed at noon.  Oh, well.  I programmed the number into my cell phone, and I'll try to sneak out and make the appointment Monday.
