Operation Christmas Child

The family used to do these all the time, around this time of year, but along with other things we haven't gotten around to doing them lately. My older sister did a few this year and amongst them were three for infants. I offered to make hats that match the "theme" of the box, and here is the first one. It's a simple baby hat pattern, but turns out so cute. Excited to do the other two.

Put on socks, it'll keep your head warm

Has anyone ever noticed how once you put on a hat your feet get warm or vice versa? Anywho, it was an eventful summer, but I'm glad to be home in a warm full size bed with windows that don't have a mind of their own and decide to close in the middle of the night. Had started on a pair of socks from Vogue Knittings 2010 fall issue, but ripped those out few weeks ago and am now working on a pair of entrelac socks; with all prospects of having the first one done little after thanksgiving.  

The blanket is not even close to being done, but if I get tired of basketweaving it will be plan b. On terms of photography. I went down to the waterfront, before breakfast, a few times during the summer and this is possibly my most favorite picture. It was taken a bit earlier than some others and that's probably why there is still a bit of mist rising off the lake.
