Goodness gracious I’m having a hard time coming up with titles. (lol) Well, I decided that the hat was done. I want to wear it and after further contemplation about how large I did the first flower anything else will be - well small in comparison. hat finished

Last night I mentioned about how my head was hurting. I wanted something simple to work on and thought I would pick up the sock again. Well after three attempts at the pattern I still was coming up with the holes that I didn’t like, so I pulled out my book of sock patterns and picked out a new one. This one is Monet’s Twist that was written by Julie. Very nice pattern, well written and as you can see I’m off. For whatever reason I just couldn’t get my head around the other one or as I like to believe this yarn prefers to be made into this pattern. My book of sock patterns is underneath - it’s a 2.5 inch binder that is busting at the seams. Monet's twist sock
I also picked up my thread painting again really like how the bottom portion is coming. This could really get addicting. silk shading attempt three
