A hat for The Doctor (Doctor Who):

I thought it matched the current Doctor's outfit. His outfit was auctioned for charity in the past week and raised something like 50,000 pounds. Crazy! Speaking of The Doctor's clothing, I nearly lost my tiny mind when I saw Alton Brown on that Food Network Thanksgiving special last week. He was wearing what looked like a tweed jacket and a bow tie the same color as The Doctor wears. I later saw a Tweet where he said that he was wearing a bow tie so he could look like a time lord. It's fun when fandoms intersect.

I kept knitting those Christmas balls until I ran out of red and white yarn. There is one more pair that needs to be steamed and stuffed.

Work in progress: I'm using my spindle to spin some gray baby alpaca for a Nerd Wars challenge. As a spinning break, I'm working on a garland for an advent ornament thingy. Frankie Brown is a designer I found on Ravelry. She's releasing a tiny ornament pattern every day from December 1-24. The ornaments can be hung from the garland. The pattern for that is already available. Oh, and the patterns are all free.
