yay hooray - hat trick today!

so proud am i to have earned an oh-so-cute-hat-trick-hat next to my name in the sidebar by completing the first of 2 father/son hat sets. they are for my brother and "i'm-almost-3" nephew. knitted with 2 strands of deep navy karabella aurora 4 and heathered khaki aurora 8 (1 strand) in an understated rib (since they are ultra-conservative-i-mean-bumper-sticker-go-to-fundraisers-conservative) with a little stripey detail for added spice (me thinks they need a little spice).

btw...love LOVE that yarn, people. you must give it a go!
