And just in time, too, as it's downright wintery feeling out there today. There's a brisk wind and an occasional snowflake or two blowing past.
So this just a simple watchcap, 108 sts, k1 p1 ribbing, on US #3 needles. The yarn is three ply wool and alpaca blend that I spun with a hat in mind, about 150 yards/50 grams. It used maybe 60 grams.
As usual when we are all home together, tempers are thin. I promise that when my kids grow up and find Significant Others and announce that they will be spending holidays with the families of those SOs, I will very gratefully say, "Go! Have a great time!" and then I will eat pizza for Thanksgiving dinner and spend the day knitting and spinning. And I will enjoy the silence.

He looks handsome, and if you are ever in my part of town for a Thanksgiving, bring your bathing suits and we will have a very even-tempered, no drama holiday. I promise!
For us, this is the holiday for "chill" and I put the quotes around "chill" for a hopeful reason (because it could have been August 2nd for all we knew)...
Hope it was okay, anyway!
Feels like winter arrived today. Brrrr! That'a a beauty of a hat. Well done.
Lord, I hope my boys when they get SOs don't come over...I'd never dream of doing that to my parents or ILs. Seems weird. But that's an Alaskan 4000+ mile difference between me and immediate family ;-).
Nice cap. Looks like he likes it huh? So you'll have to knit yourself one then eh?
What a great man hat!
A very nice hat! I like the flecks of lighter color throughout.
It is funny, you think you want the peace and quiet. Then, when it happens it is too quiet. Way too quiet and you look forward to Dec and having quarreling teens and 20s underfoot. Even if they do bring extras along.
