Necessity, and all that jazz

In the wake of our recent nor'easter, complete with five inches of short-lived snow, I realized Lucy doesn't have a hat she will willingly wear.  Most of them cover her eyes, which anyone would find annoying.  So I rummaged through my yarn and found a couple balls of lovely, soft, non-scratchy wool/bamboo blend in a blue-violet shade that fortuitously happens to match her winter coat.  The hat is half-done, but since the light is so poor now there are no photos to show yet.  But , on the positive side of things, this seems to have broken my knitters' block and I'm currently full of ideas.  Yahoo!
