Finished the Beanie

I finished it. Saturday.  And promptly gave it to my father, as I had been knitting it at his house. 

It wasn't a birthday present even though he had a birthday last Monday (his 80th). It wasn't for anything, really, other than when he modeled middle nephew's beanie for the blog, I promised him I'd make him one, too. 

And now, I am once again between projects (other than the reluctant sweater which I still haven't managed to start).

    Looks warm; I think your father will enjoy wearing it. And about that reluctant sweater, I think the Universe is trying to tell you something.

      But I am way more stubborn and will ignore the Universe until I get that thing going.

    Nice! I expect he quickly removed it to cool his nearly-summer heated head! He'll wear it, it looks good!

      It was actually kind of chilly at that moment, but yeah, he didn't wear it long.

      The only problem with finishing something is when I have to start something else. Sigh.

    Your dad looks great in his new beanie.
    Handmade gifts always carry such warmth, and I’m sure he’ll treasure it.
    Wishing him continued good health and many cozy days ahead.

    Hi Liz - congratulations to your Dad on his 80th ... and I bet he'll be very grateful for his beanie on cooler days. Good luck with the new project: whatever it is - cheers Hilary
