A Case of the Tuesdays

December has come and gone without doing any irreparable damage to my bank account. Christmas was really great, despite being away from my family. New year's celebrations were a lot of fun too.

I had taken a little break from knitting after a bit of a disaster involving an attempted Santa Hat creation. I have recovered though, and have since started knitting baby clothes. I find that the projects are small enough to keep me interested and allow for some creativity. I'm finding that any project that takes more than a few days to complete makes me lose interest pretty quickly. I have solved that with the baby hats and bootie creations, but I'm thinking that in the future I'm going to have 2-3 projects going on at any given time in order to keep things interesting and allow me to finish them before becoming bored and just casting them aside forever.

Here is the first hat I did. I tried out a free pattern from the internet and it was a disaster. Turned out to be more of a loose coaster-looking failure, so I improvised and I like the way it turned out. Smaller needles would have improved the look, but as of right now I only have 2 sizes. Maybe I'll try it again when I become better equipped.
