Sebastian's Hat

Last month I knit a little baby hat.  My cousin Lorrin gave birth just last week to her first baby, Sebastian, and the hat was for him!  I thought it turned out nicely, especially since this was my first experience with cables!



And here's a picture of a week old Sebastian wearing the cap!

New Yarn

There is a yarn I bought a couple skeins of back in August, some beautiful Manos Maxima.  It feels so wonderful and the colours are really nice.  Here's a photo of the lovely scarf I made from it:


Initally, this was the only colour of Maxima that the LYS had in stock, but they finally received several more colours.  I bought two skeins each of three gorgeous colours:


I can't wait to knit with them!
