Speech Bubbles and the Last 2 Weeks

Hi!  Yikes - sorry!  I really need to make an effort to post more.  I have had some really good reasons for being MIA, which I will share with you in photos.  New hat to come in the next week!  Thanks for stopping by!  Without further ado, here is what I have been doing since my last post...

11/12-ongoing - Working late with planning for next season and forecasting for next year:

11/18 - Running my third marathon: 

11/18 - And because training has occupied so much [valuable crochet] time, and 3 of us set PRs, here is another picture!

11/12-ongoing - Annoying my husband, sister, and Pinterest friends with my rediscovered love of Hottie Sutherland:

Hope everyone had a great holiday!  See you SOON!  

Double-Tail Crochet Santa Hat and Pattern

Hello!  Sorry I have been away.  I have been hanging out a lot with my sister while she is working here for the fall!  Plus, in case you didn't catch that dangling crane on the news, a hurricane hit the NYC recently.  So things have been a little crazy, but I did manage to do some crocheting.  

You may remember I was on a quest to make a cute Santa hat for our Jingle Bell jog.  It has taken a little longer than I expected, but here are the results of my first cute Santa hat attempt.  Check out the pictures below, and click here for the pattern.  It's copyright Teabeans, but you can use it!  

Thanks goes to Molly for choosing the colors & modeling the hat!
