on the go

Finally picked up the needles I needed to cast on the cat hat. They are long enough to poke someone's eye out across the country but they will do. I can always cut them down. So, the hat is on the go. So are a pair of socks for my son. I want to make a felted rug for under the dining room table because the floor gets so cold but I need to start (and finish a pair of socks for Dad before he accuses me of forgetting...LOL).
I think the rug will be done in Earthy colours with a bit of Red thrown in for fun:)
I am still skiing because we still have snow. 3ft of the friggin' stuff! Still!
Oh! I almost forgot...I needed some #19 (15mm) Double points to make the Urchin Beret by Wenlan Chia but I couldn't find any so I bought some wooden doweling to make my own:)
