FO 5 for January

Good grief I am on a roll. This is for BF's mom. She'll have surgery for her recently diagnosed breast cancer on the 31st, so I want it to get there in time. It is yet another Quick Slouchy Cable Hat. http://azknits.azure-m.com/2010/11/free-pattern-quick-cable-slouch-hat.html

Side note:
I started making my own Vanilla the other day. I forgot to write down what day it was, but this is what it looks like a couple days later.
