Camo Hat

Someone's head (not mine) was cold when he went to the farm. So, I knit this up for him before he left and from what I hear it was appreciated in 10-15 degree F weather.

I loved knitting these up. Lace always holds my interest and motivates me to actually FINISH.

Since I haven't really been able to keep up with the once a week blogging, I plan to at least log in once a month. That, I think (fingers crossed) is doable!
