So for this FO Friday, I finished a Woodland Hat!  This is going off to a friend for their birthday -- they will likely have their birthday during the COVID-19 shutdown, and are struggling with the 'no people' requirements right now.  So, I'm going to have to figure out how to mail this thing!

A knit purple hat with cables, with a folded up pale pink brim.

I originally planned to make some yarn purchases from a couple of Local Yarn tores, but of the colours my gift-ee requested, they were sold out!  So I stash-dove instead!  Pink yarn is a very old acrylic I inherited from my mother's stash, while the variegated purple is *Sweet Georgia Trinity Worsted in an older colourway ("Violet Hill")  

This has been a lot of my podcast/Netflix knitting, and it's gotten done quite quickly, yeay!  What have you folks been knitting/crocheting during this shutdown?  Has crafting been helpful to pass the time?  Let me know in the comments!
