Mad hatters

A scarf on Christmas day wasn't enough.  A hat was required...  and today, the fitting - though I'd slipped up.  One smaller nut needed a lid too, so a hasty click and wind was called for during the Hidden Kingdoms programme on telly this afternoon (small beasties and astonishing camera work).  The final product was a pom-pom topped offering for a clearly very cold penguin.

The boyos hands were icy after an hour kicking ball outdoors this afternoon...... am afraid to mention gloves. I'd forgotten how satisfying it is to make something for someone else who loves it.  Just like the whole day.... church, then an "elbows up" lunch with the whole family squeezed in round the table for finger licking roast chicken dinner and lots of conversation.  Mellow and perfect pleasure on a Sunday.  Hope yours has been good too.
