Here is the finished hat. I think it looks better on this side than it does the other. It's weird that there seems to be a seam down the middle, it doesn't show on real life. It's the Graham pattern by Jennifer Adams (free on Ravelry). The yarn is Knit Picks Brava in the grass colorway. I used US size 5 and 7 needles and it took less than one ball of yarn. The trickiest part of the pattern was the decreases. Because I was magic looping sometimes the decreases fell right there and it was complicated to do that when the stitches where on different needles. I'm still working on the hat for my niece. It's going much faster. I think I'm half way through and I have 3.5 hours done. I did take the sock to a waiting room but nothing else is getting much attention.
Nothing interesting in the TV watching department or podcasts. I do plan to play WOW today. I'm on the last season of Kitchen Nightmares so after that I should be back to my regular schedule. I did watch the "live" chat from Eat Your Kimchi. I never watch it live, I'm not that dedicated. Simon made a comment about Guardians of the Galaxy that was almost word for word the same complaint as my husband. I posted that an Simon actually responded back. It was kind of cool.
My husband is planning to take vacation time for the WOW expansion pack and my daughter got new glasses. That's about it around here. Quiet is probably a good thing. I'm a bad mom because we are going to have corn on the cob for supper even though Amey isn't supposed to have some because of her braces. I'll just have her brush her teeth really well after that. That's it for now. Have a good day.

Here is the green hat for my nephew. It's finished now and took about ten hours. It looks kind of weird in this picture because it's worked on the wrong side. When it's turned the right side out it has an interesting bumpy pattern. Right now I'm working on my niece's hat. I'm nervous it will be to small but I'm sure it will be fine.
With all the running around I have been doing I haven't really been watching anything. I did finish my podcasts but that's about it. I just haven't been feeling like being on the computer. I've been watching old episodes of Kitchen Nightmares. Eventually I will be out of those and go back to my kdramas. Also the date was released for the next WOW expansion pack. My husband is a little disappointed because it's not till November. I have to get back to WOW and see if I can get that character to work.
Today Amey went to the school for about three hours so she could meet her teachers and get used to the new school. Other than that we haven't been doing much, just kind of in a holding pattern before school. The weather is nice and we are just relaxing. That's it, see you next time.
