I like this hat, but not the yarn weight.  It's in worsted and I prefer fingering for slouchies.

 Caked this yarn up to see how even the variegation is.  It will work for the hat.  Not planning on starting it until January, just kitting it up with needles and the pattern, so it will be ready to go.  

Started a winter sweater for Magnus Mouse.  A duplicate stitch snowflake will be stitched to the front.   It's only 40 stitches around.  It will be good practice at joining the arms as part of the body.

This cardigan is high on my to do list next year and is knit in a similar way.   

Pulled out the wolf cross stitch today and put some stitches in, but not enough to post a pic here.   I'm enjoying stitching on it, so there may he shine some decent progress to show soon. 

Will probably pull some fabric to sew a practice block for Grey's quilt later today and clean the sewing machine.  I'll sew a couple to get familiar with the pattern and make them up into bags, so the orphan block pile doesn't get too out of control!
