Just wanted to share some pictures of the Sunset and Pacific Ocean over varying days. It's all from the same vantage, but the ocean can look so different.
I was really amused to see a cruise ship making its way into the Bay:

A trio of Turn-a-Squares
Jared Flood's Turn-a-Square hat pattern is my new, official favorite hat pattern. It's basic enough that you can knit it from memory, but interesting enough so as to not get bored (especially in a chunky yarn). My kids like to pretend that they're twins, even though they're almost three years apart. And when they pretend this, they try to dress alike, so I've knit them matching hats (the top two), in pink and blue, respectively. The pink hat was actually knit three times; the first time it was obviously too small. The second time it fit right now, which meant it probably wouldn't fit in two months' time, so it was knit a third time to the same size as the older's hat. And since it also fits me, it may possibly fit her for life (assuming it never shrinks). I know, that's a big maybe since I have such a poor track record with this yarn.
The bottom hat is the most exciting project I've knit for awhile. Exciting because I wasn't sure I'd have enough yarn to finish it! (The bits of yarn you see on either side of the hat are what were left over.) This was what I started with:
These five skeins of Misti Alpaca Chunky became a Foliage, a Thorpe, and just enough for three Turn-a-Squares.
