two new little projects

a slightly lopsided mini-clutch. perfect size to stick a couple of the sachets from 'one skein' in and give to someone as a little present/stocking stuffer/"hey i made this, you better like it." sort of present. first time using multiple colors. yeah. first time. i was so scared of trying anything but a basic square/rectangle in one color before. never again!
ignore my goofy freckled face and join me in the pride with which it glows! my first hat. i was just sort of screwing around with a little bit of wool i had left over from a mass of scarves i'd knitted forever ago, trying to see if i could make a hat without a pattern.
of course i didn't have circs of any size, so i had to knit it flat and seam it up, which is why it's kind of boxy up top. it's obviously a little too small for me, but i'm getting the idea. if james and i don't get completely hosed at the auto shop today i'll be going out and grabbing some circs so i can start making proper hats. i've got enough wool right now to make one for james, one that fits me properly, and at least one for the baby. maybe the baby can have one with ears? yay.
