so big a stash, so little time

started the hat

I can't say the silk yarn is easy to work with, but it comes out beautiful! I decided on the crocheted hat, found a pattern online, but then, in the middle of my occasional mass cleanout, found exactly the pattern I wanted in a pile of things I'd cut out from magazines years ago. So I started it last evening. Then I decided I didn't like the pattern after all and have been designing as I go. It's fun.
Meanwhile, we continue to have unseasonably warm weather in New England, with the result that the foliage is a week or two late. Unfortunately, some of my Utah inlaws arrive on Monday to see the foliage (and us). I'm afraid they won't be impressed. Is this global warming, or just New England's cussed weather?
