Lunear Eclipse

So my Husband and I put quilts and afghans on the driveway and watched the Lunar Eclipse.  It was his birthday so it all seemed really special.  We were so cold but we watched faithfully as the earth came between the sun and the full moon.  When eclipsed the moon had a beautiful amber red color cast to it.  About twenty minutes later I was asleep on my driveway with my Bad Amy Big Button hat on and clutching my binoculars to my chest.  I wish I had a picture to show you, I'm sure I was a sight to behold.

I guess its time for Christmas.  I'll knit some other stuff for fun or maybe, insane as it sounds, maybe I'll make something for myself.  I bought some really nice Malabrigo Rasta, super bulky wool yarn.  Its a pretty wine colored pink.  I think I'll try the moebius cast on by Cat Bordhi and make the neck cowl.

OK here it is, only took an hour and a half:

If you make the hat, let me know, send me a picture.
