I managed an astounding (for me, anyway) amount of knitting during my trip to San Diego and San Francisco last week. They're all things I've made before, so I don't have much in the way of notes. Oh, and they were all knit in Malabrigo, which was lovely.

I had to change the pattern slightly in order for it to fit a 2-year-old child. I cast on 56 stitches in order to get around a 17" circumference, and I think it came out pretty well. Now, Adriane and her granddaughter will have matching hats next Winter.
