Since New Year's it's been little things to counter the intense focus required to finish the Rogue hoodie on time. As it happens, two of my dearest friends are having babies; one has already done so, in Scotland, and another is about to do so in Baltimore. This means baby hats!

Sadly, I forgot to take a picture of the hat for Master Robert before I sent it off to Scotland; it's a little ribbed watch cap with dark slate blue Rowan All Seasons Cotton edging and GGH Samoa in pale green for the rest. It's the cutest little hat I've ever made.

This is the hat for the other new baby, a soon-to-arrive girl:

The yarn is K1C2 Fleece, and I really like the tangerine color. I have two big balls of this, so I will make more baby gear with it.

I also succumbed to the lure of lobster-pot-dyed cashmere; I am such a sucker for green, and cashmere to boot! I blame Nancy for it; she is the Textbook Enabler.

The father of the baby kindly sent a picture, so you can at least see a peek of the cute baby hat that I forgot to snap before sending:

Blue and green, my favorite color combo! And a cute baby to boot.

Gift for a friend's son, made out of a variegated sock yarn that I can't remember (Wildfoote, maybe?):

He's visiting us on 6 November, so it has to be done ... it's a simple 4x4 rib, with a cable twist every other rib every 12 rows. I'm almost ready to shape the top.

Finished this a couple of weeks ago and forgot to post it ...

Unfortunately the recipient's father had to cancel his visit here, so I may be mailing it to Scotland!
