To feel better about myself and my knitting abilities, I decided to get back on track by knitting something I know I can finish. I have a lot of extra yarn in my stash - mostly stuff leftover from larger projects such as scarves and hats. What's left of each skein is not enough to make something for a big person, but it is plenty for a little one.
So here they are: Sophie's Hats.
I finished the white one, but haven't taken a picture yet. I am still debating making a fourth one out of the brown yarn. I also have some red and purple that would be really cute for a berry-shaped hat pattern I found. I could make her a strawberry or a blueberry!
I originally thought these would be too small for a newborn. When I took them over to a friend's house who has a 1 year old, she showed me the hats he had as a little baby and they are the perfect size. There is some room to grow into these. Since Sophie will be here in November, she's going to need something for December, January, February, March, and possibly April, especially on the east coast.
Perhaps now that I know I can finish something, I can get back to the other knit project. I have some more yarn coming in the mail on Tuesday (fingers crossed), so that might help my motivation as well.
