I'm working on another Christmas present this week. It's a man's toque with cables on the turned up 'brim'. I've made this pattern a couple of times. It knits up quickly and looks good. I'm using Red Heart soft touch. It's a really nice yarn for an acrylic.
This week's reading is Momma reading :) My new Martha Stewart came in, though I'm often disappointed with them these days. I don't like the format change in the magazine or her show since her 'unfortunate incarceration'. The new Mary Maxim catalogue also came in yesterday. Lots of lovely things in there. I wish they would sell just the patterns and not mostly 'kits'. I may order a few things for Christmas.
And finally, my Jane Austin Knits finally arrived. I was beginning to wonder. It's full of lovely things to knit. Including a number of little cardigans that would look great with empire waist dresses. Lots of things I want to make!

The first time my son-in-law spoke about a toque, I had to ask him what the heck he was talking about! So when you mentioned it, I knew exactly what you were talking about! ;D I am getting wise to the Canadian-speak!
I wondered about that! On Ravelry they are usually just called hats :) To us a hat is more likely one of Colin's ball cap style hats, whereas a toque is a knitted hat. One is definitely warmer than the other. Considering I saw snowflakes today, toques it is!
