The Cutest Baby Hat EVER!!

No...I don't have any pics of the cutest baby hat EVER, but I will....I promise I will. I go back to the office on Friday and I promise that I will upload pics. I have 10 rows left on the hat and then I have to make a pocket that goes on the outside. When ordering yarn, I forgot about the whipstitching of the pocket onto the hat, so I think I'm going to try some black yarn that I have leftover from another project that I can use. The only problem is that it isn't the same fiber. The project used 100% merino wool and the leftover yarn is some acrylic Caron Simply Soft. I guess if it looks crappy I can take it off and pray that JoAnns has some of that rediculously expensive merino wool in black or another color that coordinates with my project. So, I guess I'll know in the next day or so what will happen.
This hat is for my sister in law and the baby shower is on Sunday. I've already stamped out a cute little tag to pin onto the hat and bought the cutest bag that coordinates with the whole theme of the shower.
I also got DISH DVR last week and upgraded my package to one that includes DIY. I love this channel and now I can DVR Knitty Gritty. What a cool show...I want to be a knister! The episode today had some really cool scarves made by a guy who used all different eyelash yarns, ribbon yarns, and stuff like that. I need to get on the DIY website and see how to make one. Why oh why do I have to live in Louisiana? Land of the hot....scarves are never needed here!

It sounds like your shower gift is perfect. I hope you get the stitching sorted.

You can gladly have our cold weather. We have snow on the ground and my ears nearly fell off this morning.

Snow? I'm super jealous. I swear to you that the last time there was enough snow on the ground that snowballs were possible was once in like 2001. Before that it was 1987 I think.
