designer doodling

All my knitting and crochet projects are complete, today! Hard to believe, but true. In order for me to catch-up on the writing portion of my design adventure, I made the statement:
NO NEW PROJCTS GO ON A NEEDLE UNTIL ALL THE PAST PATTERNS ARE WRITTEN.
That means completed and published.
I am the procrastinator when it comes to writing, so I had to make that statement out loud.

That does not mean I can't create. While gong through my e-mails this morning and making a Christmas shopping list for later today, I was doodling.
Look! Ruben's Alpaca Hat will have Aztec Designs! After designing the x's and o's, I have colored the paper just to get the real impression.

I think this will be a Great Hat!
He wants the hat to be a square beret with ear flops. I know this is probably hard to imagine but trust me, this hat will be truly original, warm and beautiful.
