Slowly but Surely

I am making SOME progress on Christmas knitting. I have finished a knitted cap for one of the kids and some crochet coasters for a neighbor (with a cute crochet wrap). Modeling courtesy of Mr. Man (of course).

I did start a golf club sock but that didn't exactly go as planned since I was working from no pattern and making it up as I went along. Usually, this is fine, and it was turning out good just a little too big but being as how I have to have stuff for the neighbors done by SATURDAY I decided to forgo that project. He's getting golf balls instead!

And, ah yes, another beautiful day here in the south! I think we hit 78 degrees today! We climbed Stone Mountain in shorts today. Gotta love livin' in the south!!! It does make going to pick out a Christmas tree feel kinda weird though.........

Tonight I'll be working on a baby hat to go with the 3x3 ribbing baby sweater that I knit some time ago. I went and got some yarn today (because YES I'm running low, ok?!?!) and I'm planning to start THIS for my son soon. Am I nuts or didn't I recently see a pattern similar to this for a hat on knitty??? I looked but now I can't find it. Must be CRS setting in......

BTW - I'm not REALLY running low on yarn.......that's just something I tell myself to justify more yarn purchases. I know you all understand.
