A few weeks ago, I decided that I wanted to make a hat and sweater for my baby boy to wear home from the hospital.
My sister-in-law was kind enough to give me a knitting lesson. Now, I have been transformed into an old lady who sits on the couch every night knitting while feigning minimal interest in whichever sporting event my husband is watching.
This little blue hat is my first real attempt. It isn't perfect -- but I am getting there. I am currently working on a slightly improved version.
I stopped by the local knitting store yesterday and couldn't resist buying this book full of hat ideas. . . . and some pink, brown, and green yarn.
Hats, hats for everyone (maybe even David).
I will get back to the sweater project at some point, but for now I am going to be making hats to cover all of the lovely little heads in my life.

love it-- i need a hat lesson. i am done knitting scarfs for awhile, they take too long!
I was at a baby shower this past weekend and was totally inspired by the homemade knitting items that people gave... I think this is an activity I am going to take up myself! Nice work on your first project!!
my grandmother showed me how to knit once, but I was too young to remember. I wish I knew how. She used to make everyone handmade Christmas stockings.
