Another chicken down

The Gold Laced Wyandotte was found dead within the chicken pen, by the fence line. Mostly like a raccoon attack. That leaves 2 functional adult hens (Black Australorp and Red Sex Link) and the broody Blue Laced Wyandotte. Thank goodness I have 5 standard pullets and a number of bantam girls growing up already. I will put hardware cloth over the section of fence that only has 2x4" openings. I knew that that was a weak point in their protection, and really should have taken care of it when I first set their pen up.

Hat Shaped Hat #2

I love this pattern for a very quick, easy hat with a classic shape. This the second one I've made. I wish that I had made the main portion of the hat taller by about 3 rows so that I could pull the brim up higher, and it would also end lower over my forehead and ears. I like my hats to completely cover my head.

The indoor lighting washed out the colors a bit - it's nice and bright in person.
