Cabled Hat

I am finished with the cabled hat. Isn't it pretty:

Say it's pretty dammit. very good. Actually I completed it last week, but I just now got around to taking this lovely photograph of it. Here is the top, I just love how the spiral pattern fell into place:
And you can see how nicely shaped it is, sitting atop the head-shaped bowl. Almost no mistakes, too. Now I am getting started on the scarf. I thought it would be more challenging, because I have to knit the backs, but it is really quite easy. I have finally got to the point where I don't need to have the pattern with me. I took it to my second SnB last week. I was actually productive in my knitting and participated. Whoo-hoo. Now I am getting more excited about the new local yarn store opening up. Three and a half weeks is sooo long to wait.

I also drew another cartoon, for your visual enjoyment:
