Robert's hat is finished, just in time for our ski trip!
He'll be handsome as he glides down the slopes in his new maroon and gray beanie. I'll post pictures of his lovely head after he opens his present, but for now I have pictures of the hat itself. This was my first foray into charted stranded colorwork, and you can see my skills improve from the bottom of the hat to the top.
I have also started Sarah's present: I'm knitting "boot bands" using Knitty's Chevrolace Sock Pattern. Essentially, these are sock tops to wear poking out of tall boots. I simply do not have the time to knit lace boot socks, but I can knit cuffs to fake the look.
