Amidst the knitting projects...

I've been doing lots of knitting lately. This funny little hat is for a co-worker who is adopting a baby from Korea! Little Max, who is about 8 or 9 months old, is supposed to arrive any day. I knew I wanted to make a little something for them, but couldn't figure out what. When I found this pattern on Knitty.com, I knew it was the perfect thing as his adoptive mom loves sock monkeys! The hat did come out rather cute, even to me who really isn't terribly fond of them!
