Aviator Cap

This hat took a fair chunk of time and has set me back a bit on my laundry list of things to knit before Christmas. I had fallen in love with the color of this yarn though, as well as the pattern, so I decided it was time to make something for myself at last. It's a much truer purple than it is in the photo.

Pattern.

I just finished part one of two for my sisters Christmas present and I'm currently working on a purple beanie for a friends daughter. Ahead of me I have a striped beanie and gloves for Joe, an earflap hat for Mark, a beanie for my brother, another striped beanie for Scabs, and I need to come up with something to make for my parents and Chelsae. All before Christmas! Whew.

We went to Tempe Yarn and Fiber on Saturday. It's a pretty cool place. The fancy crochet hook Joe bought from them broke though. There were a bunch of crazy old ladies there, having a needlework party. They liked my hat. We might go back again this weekend.

Joe learned to crochet! He's doing really well and has finished two adorable amigurumi dolls so far. He also made the grey flower on my hat!

Creative goals: mohawk hat and kitty ears.
