I made a hat! My first hat I ever made! And the first hat I have worn in years, actually. I usually just pull a scarf up over my head, but I look a wee bit crazy. The pattern in Shroom by Lee Wood Juvan. The yarn is Berroco Peruvia. It's just the right amount of slouchy to fit my pony tail under.

The embarrassing thing? I bought the yarn Friday night after work and finished it before I went to bed. Meaning that I did NOTHING Friday night other than knitting and watching Brothers and Sister. Blah.
I guess I also blocked a couple of things, including reblocking the Travelling woman shawl I made in September.

From last weekend, I should let you know that I got to go to the White House Holiday Open House. There were trees:
A shrine to Bo the dog:
And cool handmade trees and wreaths:

| See?!?! That tree is made of newspaper!! |
And carolers:

| Sneaky Carolers...hiding behind the tree... |
A 350 pound ginger bread house (that I failed to get a picture of...sigh...) and Truman, hiding in a stair well (I think I take a picture of him every time I go on a White House tour):
Just like in West Wing!! Jealous...did you wear your hat to the White House? I want one so we can match.
