Getting Done

I found a really easy, plain, uncomplicated, non fussy hat for my son Chris for Christmas. He doesn't like cables, bumps, decorations, colors, patterns, etc. Just plain. The most boring kid to knit for, but at least it makes for quick knitting.

The color is black, although the picture looks charcoal gray. I am playing with a new camera and haven't gotten it all figured out yet.  Unfortunately I think it may be too big on him but we'll see. He will appreciate the gesture even if it is too big. I have plenty more yarn so can scale it back, or I was thinking on the next hat of adding an inch of K2P2 ribbing to make it a little tighter. I'm not convinced that would look the best but may try knitting a sample.

Yarn:  Galway Worsted (Purchased at Black Sheep Yarn, Kent, CT)

               Size 8, double point, Susan Bates

It rained and poured today, cats and dogs. At this point at least it is not snow. Actually all of our beautiful snow is gone.
