Gorgeous, gorgeous day today.

Had a nice talk with the wool-allergic friend at a party last night. It seems she's allergic to all animal-hair fibers, even cashmere and llama, so silk is the only option for a really warm hat. I happen to have a few balls of recycled sari silk on hand, so I cast on a hat today. I think I'll see her again next week; it'll be nice to have it done by then. A wool hat only takes me a day. Sari silk is not as cooperative as wool, so it might take me a few days to get it done.

This is my week to spend in San Simeon this month. Once again, rain is predicted. I hope I luck out like I did last month-- without the gale on Wednesday.
