Let them eat Sugar Plums!
And cookies. And fudge.
The gift knitting is d.o.n.e.
I finished this hat yesterday while stuck in traffic on the #66. It’s been quite exciting commuting the roughly 3 miles from my house to downtown; everywhere there are people last minute shopping; the crowds are extra large it seems.
It took until right about Tuesday afternoon for the Spirit to hit me. I love this time of year when suddenly everybody goes smiley face, well almost everybody!
And when the chores are done, all that’s left is to party and enjoy!
This Cassidy’s Cap went very fast, faster than I thought it would and I really like the softness of this version. The yarn is Rowan Kid Classic in #840 Crystal and it’s a soft icy grey.

I love this time of year, too. It’s a lovely hat, and I hope your holidays are cheerful.
What a great Hat! I love all of your patterns and have made quite a few. Have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Hope you have a great Christmas….I miss being in Chicago for the holidays…family in Southport/Wrigleyville and many suburbs….but we have a high school swimmer who has practice everyday during break…darn!! You have a great Holiday!!
A great hat! Have the merriest of fiber holidays!
The hat really turned out nice, I’m giving the felted bucket a go this week. I’ll feel more Christmasy if we get the snow we’re promised and not the rain:) Have a Happy Holiday I really enjoy your blog!
Beautiful hat! I hope to try my hand at the pattern after Christmas.
Love the Hat! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and that Santa leaves you lots of COOL knitting stuff! Now off to enjoy my long weekend holiday!
The hat is lovely – and a traffic knit. That has to be some kind of record!
Merry Christmas to you and yours!

I love how you style your pix. The hat is so very pretty and I am so impressed that you knit it on the bus. Have a very very Merry Christmas!

Happy Holidays!
Love your snowflake hat! Notice how its’ placement on the field of red shows ya how nice that chapeau would look on my red hair!! (hint hint!) Merry Christmas from NJ !
Beautiful FO! Happy Holidays. T
I definitely love that hat. I think it’s great that berets are back “in” now, since I can’t wear beanies because of flat-hair issues.
I love that time of year when we switch from “Have a nice day” to exchanging holiday wishes. It finally started happening this week. Now if it would just snow in time for Tuesday!
Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas, and happy knitting now and in the New Year!xox
Merry Christmas and Best Wool Wishes for the Coming Year!
Its making me smile imagining your cheerful, joyous bad-ass self rocking the Xmas holiday.
Merry Christmas from one commuter-knitter to another. I knit on my ride into downtown Austin (bus #3), but I have to keep it simple. I’m very impressed with all you can do in three miles!!
Beautiful beret!
Holiday knitting done here as well. I’ll be casting on for Twist on Christmas Day….my gift to myself!
Have a very Merry Christmas and New Year full of new knits!
Oooh! I love all of the cables. They are pretty much the top of my favorite things to knit list.
Hope you have a wonderful holiday!
To Me? Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Merry Christmas B-Marie!!

Merry Christmas, Bonne Marie. Just hoping to see you on the 66 in the New Year.

Can’ wait to see the new stuff coming soon!! Wish I had been at your Christmas party…Looked like fun!!!Have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year. Thanks for the blog – it’s a daily thing for me.
Rowan – yes please!
Anything by Rowan is good! Lucky you having all your knitting done for Christmas. About 4 more hours on an afghan and I can stick a fork in it and call it done. Thanks for all you do. Merry Christmas.
Solstice Blessings, Bonne Marie!
Merry Christmas, m’amie! Peace & love & happy knitting in the New Year, too.

Bonne Marie, I just finished my first Cassidy hat and it was so fun and quick (1 1/2 evenings) that I just cast on for a second! Great pattern, well written and the hat is just so darn pretty! My first was made out of Cascade 220 and the one I just cast on for is a strand of Jaeger Merino DK and a strand of Kid silk haze. Yummy! Thanks and Merry Christmas to you!
I already have plans to knit myself some hats like that after the holidays.
May yours be very happy.
How clever of you to get stuck in traffic! I get stuck every day, but am driving, so no knitting allowed. I do like the first third of the the Cassidy I’m making…merry xmas!
Merry Christmas to you and yours and all the joy and happiness of the season. Love the hat!
Hi. The cap is beautiful! I was looking at the pattern yesterday for one of the 2 gifts I still need to do. I would love to try the Rowan Kid Classic. I fondle it at my lys every time I am there. Have a great holiday!!!
Love the soft style of the Cassidy Cap and it even looks comfortable enough to wear. I can’t believe you can manage to knit on the bus though! Have a great holiday and I look forward to many new patterns in 2008!!

Lovely hat! I haven’t tried Rowan’s Kid Classic yet, but it’s on my list of yarns to try out.
Have a wonderful Christmas, Bonne Marie! (and a Happy New Year too).
Happy Christmas Bonne Marie!
