the hats have begun...

I got a huge box of merino-cashmere wool from KnitPicks, most of it slated for Christmas gift hats for nieces, nephews and friends. And when faced with so many colours and options, how was I supposed to do them one at a time?

The cream, maroon and black one is for one nephew who has been drafted by the Peterborough Petes of the OHL - I was going to knit in the logo by stranding it, but the floats would have been huge, so I decided to duplicate stitch the logo on after - but first I have to rip out the whole thing and take out about 40 stitches - I'm not sure what I was thinking...
The middle one is for another nephew whose school colours are royal and yellow, and the blue, blue and yellow is for the girls at the cottage. I need another one of these, and I will relocate the yellow stripe to make it a little different.
Then there's the black and gold, and the red and white...

I may have added yet another one to this pile...
