With the help of some orange cats, and some good pain meds…
I managed to finish the hat for Dave’s Uncle before the weekend.
Pattern is My Baker’s Hat. Yarn is Patons Classic Wool – leftover from a sweater I made Dad a couple years ago.
Dave’s uncle still hasn’t confirmed if he’s coming, but at least there will be something under the tree if he does show up.
Meanwhile, with all my Christmas projects done, I’ve cast on a pair of socks for myself. I tossed three holey pairs last week alone, so it’s definitely time for some new ones.
As for my mouth, it’s a little better each day. Mostly irritation, with a little bit of deep pain now and again. I still haven’t had a Coke… and I think I’m about ready to kill for one. But I have managed some more solid food – so at least there’s that!

That’s good news about the mouth. I like the looks of that hat. I wish I could say that I finished mine but I keep getting distracted. I think I’m officially in panic mode now.
