12/28/10 — It fits the recipient perfectly! She loves it. Yay! Totally puts a pep in my step today.

12/25/10 — Finished! I used a three needle bind-off (’cause I hate picking up stitches) to finish. It looks great :D I hope the recipient feels the same way.

12/24/10 — Cast on (using provisional cast-on) tonight. Making it for a coworker who doesn’t like hats (but is known to don a headband when heading out into below freezing temperatures) and wears a lot of red. This fits the bill!
