Thanks to Sarah H for gifting me the Phoenix Hat by Sally Cameron. From the pattern page on Ravelry: 
"100% of the proceeds from this pattern go to supporting the Red Cross Children’s Hospital Burns Unit. If you have received this pattern as a gift please consider paying it forward and gifting it to another person." 

I will be giving away two copies of this pattern in the Ravelry Group. 

Thanks to Stephanie of The Rusted Stitch for the adorable Needle Sweater.
