My desire to learn how to knit really surfaced out of sheer frugalness. The boys are cloth diapered for most of the day with the exception of nighttime. I cringe every time I have to purchase special nighttime diapers. This lead me to my desire to knit a nighttime soaker to cover the cloth diapers. Many people thought I was crazy to try a soaker as my first knitting project but hey what could I lose. Fast forward 2 weeks.... Alex gets wind of my knitting escapades and request a Mohawk hat. If you buy the pattern I will try I tell him. After 3 nights of knitting I have finally completed the hat with one minor step to be done... felting... Here is the hat before I felted it! Looks okay on Patrick's head, let's just say thank god I took a picture before I felted.
Here is the hat after I felted:
Obviously I need to read up on felting. I still have to felt the soaker for the boys, which by the way was much harder to knit than this silly hat!

Hi Roxanna. This looks really good for a first time knitter. Now you can make the boys all different hats. You will have to make one with horns for your mother.
