That Which Pulls Me Now.

Here are the things by which I am being pulled right now. What will eventually be Ryan's Hat is in the background. I frogged yet again yesterday morning, but hopefully I'm on the road to Completed Hatville now. My gauge is 5 SPI on size 6 needles. I've got 108 stitches on that bad boy--big enough? Too big? At this point, who cares? If Ryan's Hat is too small for him, Ryan's DW Sheryl can wear it.
In the foreground lie two pretty little balls of varigated blue that I found in the half-off bin at my LYS, and they send forth their siren call everytime I pass them on the yarn table. I think they want to be mittens. Of course, I have all sorts of Christmas knitting to do, and Aki's hat has been waiting for a long time too. So many things to knit, yada yada yada.
