I finally finished Aunt Pris’ hat.ÂÂ
pattern: Esther Williams
yarn: Debbie Bliss Cashmerino
needles: Clover Bamboo & size 3.75 crochet hook
started: Dec 12
finished: Jan 5
modifications: Instead of starting the edge as written I shifted the start point over 1/2 repeat and I think this continues the rhythm of the hat pattern into the edging.

Today is Daughter’s birthday. Hubby took a vacation day and after the bus dropped her off from Kindergarten we went to her favorite restaurant, the Spaghetti Factory, with Grammy and Grampy.ÂÂ
 ÂÂ

Grammy and Grampy got her winter boots (to go with the winter coat they got her for Hanukkah) and Son received a pair too.
    
I got her a watch and Hubby got her a necklace that says ‘Daddy’s Little Girl’.

We didn’t take all the gifts to the restaurant so she opened the rest when we got home. I think the biggest hit was a table top soccer game from Grandma. We also got her a bunch of dress-up things, mostly wigs and animal noses, in the soccer pic she is wearing the cat ears and tail.
