The Kitty hat

So in late December, 2007, I learned to knit. Ultimately it seemed as if I wanted a x-mas stocking for my daughter like my grandmother made for me, I'd have to do it myself, as no one I knew who knew how to knit was knitting socks. A wonderful friend and a wonderful fellow mama turned me on to Stitch 'n Bitch, and I was off. I really didn't want to spend the time knitting a scarf as my first knit item, as we don't really live in that climate. I loved the Kitty hat. Here is M modeling my first knitted item, before I added the ears.

Here she is making a snow angel in the hat (with the mittens that shortly followed)
