Busy grrl

I've been swamped! I'm not sure what is swamping me. Oh, yes. Our house DID flood in September. With that mess, so went my intent to blog more. Fear not, I am back!
I just finished a hat for my father's 74th birthday. I used wonderful Debbie Bliss Cashmarino Aran in Charcoal. It's a gorgeous yarn that looks almost tweedy.

The hat came out great, but my dad refuses to wear it as it is designed to be worn. It turns out only the top of his head gets cold. I wish I would have known before I bought a second skein and made it super long so he could turn up the cuff! :/
Regardless, I got him to pose for a picture wearing his hat appropriately.
Dad is subdued momentarily.
Moments later, however, he rolled it up and hammed it up! Gotta love him!
Dad always cracks us up.
