Behind the Times

"Real" life is SERIOUSLY cutting in on my knitting time. Here's my latest project:

As usual, I am 2, 3... 5, 6 years behind the trends. I didn't realize when I started, that everybody has already made one of these... I used a different pattern though... based on the Nantasket Basket, so the bottom is flat and not bowl shaped.

I know, I know... it looks like a rastafarian hat. My 24" circulars are a bit overcrowded.

I think Murray already likes it.... or maybe he just likes my warm lap. He's a big help as you can see.

Also, take note: That awesomely cabled sweater is one my mom made me years ago. I think it's time for another... hint, hint...
