a quickie for your birthday?

while getting ready for hartford's festival of lights on friday afternoon, i watched dah try on every hat in the winter accessories basket that roosts in the coatroom... including all the kids'. it has become glaringly obvious that he requires one of these: men's cap, seaman's cap, double knit ski cap, or perhaps even the brioche hat in weekend knits.

with his birthday coming right up, this provides the perfect excuse for starting yet another project, but hopefully one that has hopes of being completed this month. mmm... yarn shopping, pattern browsing, i'm thankful for the time off.

the days off have also allowed for considerable headway to be made on the wrap cardigan. it is the perfect cold weather project, so cozy to have in your lap. it's hinting at the lure of afghans...
