It's a baby hat! It was my first knitting experiment outside of the realm of scarves, so it was somewhat intimidating. But it actually looks like a hat, so I'm pretty damn proud of myself. I got the pattern from
Stitch 'N Bitch -- it's the Umbilical Cord hat (because of the little knot on top). I'm sending it off tomorrow -- perfect timing too, because I just received the birth announcement for the intended recipient today!
