My sweet niece, Maja, turned two last Friday. Her parents had asked us over for a cup of coffee and a slice of birthday cake today. So, knowing that Maja would probably be showered in toys by her thrilled grandparents I decided to do a bit of knitting.... I stumbled over the Berry Cute Hat from http://www.fibertrends.com/
I bought the yarn a while ago. Last Tuesday the hat was on my personal knitting menu.... at last. If Maja had had a head no bigger than a large crape fruit, the first attempt of a berry hat would have fitted just fine. Too tight due to too small needles. Thursday Pindsvinet visited; we knitted two-three hours, enjoyed our antipasti and resumed the knitting session until midnight.... as usual :) I gave the hat another chance - it wasn't as if I had anything else to offer Maja for her birthday! I actually managed to finish the hat in time and birthday girl Maja seemed to like it (thank you, knitting gods!). Anyway, here it is \o/
