The other Baby Hat

It is still not finished.  I want to make a pom pom on top, but I need my tapestry needles.  Those are home, so I will have to wait a few days before seeing it complete.

It is still not such a good job.  Lot's of holes.  Bu  I am proud of having battled the circular needles and not have died in combat.

What's keeping me busy...

These past few days I have not touched a bead.  I have been busy making these two baby hats and running some errands.

This is the first one I made.  It was a challenge using circular needles for the second time and with such a small hat.  Not that the first time went too well either :)

This is the one that is keeping me busy now.  I hope to finish it today and get back to beading tomorrow.

I will take on another knitting project after I finish these.  Mittens and booties.  Even smaller things to knit.  I am just glad to have found these great videos on youtube that helped me get this hat going.  I hope to be able to find some for mittens and booties.
