This is my beautiful Katie who turns 18 tomorrow. The hat is the monkey hat from knitty (sorry, lost the link). I finished the hat while she was away at her convention in July. It is the first time I have done two color knitting where I didn't just do stripes that I knotted together. It was a small challenge but it is so darn cute. I just couldn't wait till Christmas to give it to her. Happy Birthday Katie!

(You'll notice she's knitting in the picture. My needles, my yarn, I guess 18 doesn't mean grown up.)

I loved that hat when I saw it on Knitty - it looks great on your daughter, too! Was it fun to make?

The hat's awesome, the wearer's also pretty cool. And Mom, you're just so darned cute when you have a present to give. I notice you didn't mention it was meant as a Christmas gift, and you couldn't wait to give it to her. We all knew you'd never make it! You, more than anyone I know, get such joy from giving.
