More on FO baby Aviatrix hat

Since we didn't find out the sex of the baby, it made anticipatory knitting very difficult. Consequently, I didn't do it.

I have had my eye on the Aviatrix baby hat pattern for some time, however, and had just decided to knit it for a friend of my mom - who just welcomed her first grandchild! (A girl.) However, I went into labor and had a girl myself, so Alex now has to wait :) Priorities!

Squishy, adorable priorities.

It was a fast knit using two clearance yarns that I bought to avoid being charged an ATM fee at my local yarn store (small business pains, I feel you, and I appreciate the opportunity you give me to buy more crap). They ended up being gorgeous and perfect for the job, but a complete pain the in the ass to work with.

Out of pure luck, the colors on the Tonalita worked PERFECTLY with the pattern. It gave it this awesome gradual change that lined up with each ridge in the hat.

Finishing - blocking and knitting flower accents.

It was a quick project (even with the constant interruptions!) and I'm happy with the outcome. Now on to do Alex's hat.
