Last night, the Sharkitect and I woke up to the sound of explosions.  Our neighbors' house was going up in flames.  The family is okay but quite shaken up, as would be expected.  We don't know yet if the house can be salvaged since we assume there is extensive smoke damage.

This is my reminder to count my blessings again.  It's kind of like having another more personal Thanksgiving day almost at the halfway point from the original.  In the mean time, this sample photo of a new project I'm working on will help distract me from this tragic event:

I will be posting a pattern for my entrelac bucket hat soon, if you're interested.  I've made up several versions and the pattern is being tested so it should be available soon.  The version above is made in Knit One Crochet Two TyDy in colorway 265 Hibiscus.  The hat only takes one 100gm skein.
