A Hat. A Sock.

Two Finished Objects in one day! I finished both the sock and the baby hat last night. So satisfying. The sock is the first of its pair (the sock I finished a few days ago is from a different pair and I can't show it to you yet because it is Top Secret until around September--but let me say that it is a stunning sock). This sock is knit from... um, I can't remember because I cast on back in January or February and I've long since lost the ball band. I bought the yarn at Three Wishes. The second one is almost done too, maybe tomorrow while on the way to and from family reunion weirdness in Provo. The socks are done in a simple 2x2 rib, size 2 needles, nothing fancy, just better than lingerie. Oh, you know it's true.

The hat is, as I mentioned before, from Susan's Star of the Day pattern in Dalegarn (from Black Sheep's 50% off bin--yay!) on size 4 needles. I modified the pattern by leaving out the yarnovers that Susan swirled down the sides--this hat is for a baby boy, so I was trying to man it up a little. I loved knitting this hat, both because it was fun to see the star emerge and because I felt like I was knitting blessings into it. Everytime his momma puts this hat on his head, the boy will be blessed. If there's enough yarn leftover, I'll make some socks to go with the hat--he'll be blessed from head to toe. I haven't decided on a pattern yet though. Any ideas?
