Finished object

This is the completed Coronet Hat:

When the pattern says it will take a skein of yarn, it means it.  I have only a little left.  No progress on the hemp socks, but I'm running at 2000 words a day on my novel.  Once I pass ten thousand, it will be the longest single thing I have ever written.  I have to finish Dad's scarf soon so I can airmail it out in time for Christmas,
