DD3 is very sleepy but agreed to model it for me, with ear flaps added. It's been a long day, and knitting has left my fingers achy. But in a good way. ;^)
Here's the hat!
Here's the hat I made for my friend George. He and DH are going snow-shoeing tomorrow.

Updates
I received a kind thank-you letter from Kathy and Kathryn at the Interim House (to acknowledge receipt of my yarn contribution--I had found a bunch of great yarn from someone's stash at Goodwill, skeins of alpaca, mohair, and wool, not moth-eaten, and with "vintage" labels--what a find!) and I also have checked the latest on their website. This yarn is going to a great cause, people! and the knitting gospel is being spread far and wide, among all kinds of people with all sorts of occupations, interests, and hobbies. I think I'd better stop before I start the "come-to-Jesus" speech. :^}
I also was contacted by our winner, Lis, whose email had gone to my spam folder. Talk about overkill! I had 500 spam emails, of which one was a REAL letter, and it had to be Lis's. Geez. Murphy never rests. Anyway, Lis turns out to be a fairly recent convert to knitting, which is so exciting. I'm mailing off the prizes on Monday, and they will make it virtually impossible for Lis to say, "Honey, I need to head to Joann's for a darning needle" or etc. because she will have ALL the accoutrements. Sorry Lis, you can probably think up another excuse--"Honey, I'm headed over to Joann's because I need yarn." It will take him a few months to realize that this is hilariously out of whack with the reality of your stash. However, speaking of stash, Lis will have a bit more now, because part of her prize package includes some skeins of PeaceFleece, a few interesting navy skeins flecked with primary colors, and some things I have in green, her favorite color.
I'd like to have posted my latest work on the baby blanket (it's almost ready to sew to the backing and finish up) and a hat I'm making for my friend George in SWS "natural earth" but the camera is NOT OPERATIONAL due to DD2 not having put the batteries in the charger. Ahem! But I have to forgive DD2 because in a few hours, I am going to see her perform in the Battle of the Bands, with her band Pizookies, and she's singing "I Want You Back." How could I be annoyed with someone so cool that she recognizes a Jackson Five song as perfect for her band???

And the winner is . . .
The Ladies of the Interim House! They have received at least 15 shipments of yarn and other accoutrements, and it's all because of you, your generosity, and your overstocked warehouses of yarn. :^)
Another winner is the donator whose name I just pulled from the hat. It's Lis L.!!
You have a package ready to come to you, a Jordana Paige bag filled to overflowing with wonderful things. So I'm emailing you to let you know that it was your name I drew, and to get your particulars.
Thanks to all of you for your donations--you have provided something truly helpful to women who are rebuilding their lives. ~Stacie
