Here are the fingerless gloves that I finally finished for Steve - the embroidery is really BAD (remind me never to try to do THAT again - but hey, it's good to know your strengths) - but they are custom fit, and he's a happy boy. I'm one panel and one brim away from finishing the matching bike hat.
And here's the hat I made for myself in December, after realizing that babies all over California had been getting handmade hats from me, and I hadn't knitted myself one in awhile. (So selfish, I know). I even made it out of this new yarn that I love making the baby hats out of because it's so soft. It's Bamboo yarn - yes, made from bamboo fibers and it's pretty wonderful. The hat has stretched out a bit, but it's great in the mornings when I'm sitting at the computer and cold, as well as our excursions on the tandem to the grocery store. You can't really see the pattern in the second picture, but there is a diamond pattern running across the middle.

Hopefully, I'll have the biking hat done soon, and then it's onto sock monkey pants.
