I forgot to mention another exciting part of getting my lovely new hat. My nephews came to visit!
They’re very well behaved and don’t eat much at all. And they’re happy to hang around while I knit and help me keep track of my sock rounds. I hope they stay for a while. My festive knitting is a lot more enjoyable now they’re here.
