Last year (at the start of 2008), I mentioned that I wanted to learn to knit. My good friend,
Heather, is an accomplished knitter and so she gave me yarn, needles, and a pattern to get started. It took me 18 months but I finally finished the project last week! Okay, I actually didn't start until February of this year and mostly knitted it at the newly formed knitting club (super fun, by the way!). So...here is the completed project.
I think the model is pretty cute. :) While this was my first completed knitting project, I certainly hope it won't be the last! It was fun and I had such a sense of accomplishment. The older boys have requested hats for themselves - Calvin would like orange and green stripe and Patrick would like two colors of blue. We'll see.

Cute project!!!
And I think knitting little hats is fun and keeps the fingers busy! Yay for knitting! I <3 yarn! (I am also into crochet right now!)
Ty looks SO cute in the hat!!!!!
It is cute! And that is what happens... you make a project for one person and then others just get in line! :)
Cute project and model!
that's so adorable. all though perhaps a bit out of season at the moment.:) i need to complete a knitting project... or maybe just improve the basic steps, since i have yet to do that.:)
That looks just perfect on him. Great job! Anytime a busy mom finishes a project that's a victory right there:)
I admire your efforts! Looks better than store bought. I tried to knit a scarf, then got frustrated and went for a coaster ;) Maybe I should try again. . .
Good work!
