WE HAVE HAT!

And I couldn't be more proud of it, though I keep feeling like it's too big for a normal baby's head. It may not be. Reference articles list an average newborn's head as having a circumference of 14 inches, and this hat will fit anywhere from 12 to 16 inches, so it should be good to go. I'm a little delirious at this point, having cast on with no pattern and only an idea around noon today and finishing up the entire thing about half an hour ago. It took 3 false starts, but I finally got rolling and got it done. I'm still sifting through the notes I kept while I knit it and sometime tomorrow I'll be posting it. My first pattern ever! Yay!

But right now, I'm off to bed. The baby's shower's in less than a week and I still need to start/finish the sweater that completes the layette.

Also tomorrow, photos from my secret pal package!
