A few months ago I took part in a Project Spectrum Postcard Swap. I've been anxiously awaiting a "green" themed package. I came home today to find yet another envelope of goodies delivered to my door. My exchange pal not only sent me a post card, but also included four skeins of yarn, some green shoe strings, post-it notes and tea. Thanks Pal!
In other news:
-In my intense "sick day" boredom, I made a hat. It was destined to be a Christmas gift. I used my handy-dandy Norling "make a hat using any gauge" pattern, but it came out squatty and too big. I have made a hat using the same yarn for myself, but neglected to record how many stitches I used for the cast-on. So, in essence, no matter what I did, the hat sucked.
I then decided I was going to rip it all out, and when I went to commence with the destruction, the cat had laid on it and claimed it for himself. I typically tuck anything knitted into an old picnic basket for safe keeping, but in my haste I had left it on top of said basket, so it was fair game. I decided to leave well enough alone and opted to make her hat out of tried-and-true Manos using my favorite tried-and-true pattern from Soule Mama.

I hate to rip anything out, but sometimes if you aren't happy with it, you've just got to do it.
(This has nothing to do with that, but it reminded me of my grandma cautioning me NEVER to sew on Sunday because I'd have to rub out my stitches with my nose when I got to heaven. Where she got that I'll never know, but it did keep me from sewing even a tacking stitch for a long, long, time!)
