Happy hubby

He had a much bigger grin on his face when I brought him this hat, and again when he tried it (and promptly ran to see himself in the mirro).  I had to get him to quit making silly faces for the camera ... but this is what a happy hubby looks like after all day in the cold rain with only a thin army-issue fleece hat:

After feeding him, I held up the back yoke to the McCall Palmer/Pletsch pattern I'm going to use for his flannel shirt, so he has another reason to grin: pattern prep has started!
