So I'm still knitting the beanie for my coworker. I've been trying to keep it hidden from him at work so it'll be a surprise, but he might have already seen the colors I chose, I'm not sure. I'm 2/3 of the way finished, so I decided it was time to share a picture of it so far! I really like it, and the pattern is super easy. No problems thus far, though I did restart it once after he measured his head and let me know he'd need the smaller of the two sizes. :) You can see I'm still on the circular needle portion and haven

't started to reduce the number of stitches yet. Although I own double-pointed needles, I haven't learned how to use them properly yet, so when I get down to only a few stitches I have quite a difficult time knitting them on the circular needle! lol But I'll manage, I've found a way to make it work for all the other hats I've knitted so far. Hopefully I'll finish this hat later this week! I need to get a new book from the library soon, but until then I'll be motivated to keep knitting on my breaks at work. :)
