Embroidered hat

I made this for someone at Andrew's work - my first try at embroidery!

Whoopsadaisy!

So while clearing out my room in preparation of packing up next week (sigh), I found a load of the small hats I made for the Innocent Smoothie / Age Concern charity appeal last year.

Luckily for me they are doing the same drive again this year, with the same pattern, so I've just popped them in the post. However the deadline for new hats for this year is October 21 and I'm quite tempted to make a few more. Maybe for 2008?

Why I may not be knitting my christmas presents this year:

Attempt number one...

Drum roll please

Today is the ninth of the eight of the seventh.

I love these funky dates. (Which I am aware are irrelevant and only because I live in a country with the Gregorian calendar. Or perhaps it's the other one? Whatever, it's an ethnocentric and arbitrary set of numbers*. But I like it.)

*For those of us who don't believe in dates or events set out by the religious organisations.
