I'll start with the finished:
Project: Checkered scarf
Started: October 3 2008
: October 23 2008
Yarn: 1 ball of Knit Picks Essential in Carbon Twist
Needles: 3
This is the first scarf I made for my commission work. I made it on the biggest needles I have for the fingering weight to maximize the size. It turned out fairly wide, but only 3" long. I didn't add a boarder, believing the mixture of balanced moss stitch and unbalances stockinette would cause it to lay flat. This made the edges wave a bit, bit not too bad. It curled a bit, but a light wash and flat dry fixed that.

Project: Jaywalker scarf
Started: October 20 2008
: November 5 2008
Yarn: 1 ball of Knit Picks Essential Kettle Dyed in TimberNeedles: 1 1/2
This was the second scarf I knit for my commission job. I REALLY love how this turned out. I actually bought 4 skeins of this, anticipating 2 for the scarf and possibly 2 for a hat for a boy described as similar to Mr. Potato Head. Well, the hat was not to be a good idea, so I have three skeins... Enough to make ME a scarf!!
Project: Windy City Hat
Pattern: Windy City Hat
: October 28 2008
: November 1 2008
Yarn: 1/2 ball of Knit Picks Essential Kettle Dyed in Eggplant
Needles: 1
This could be considered "inspired by" Windy City as I changed the yarn weight, number of stitches, length of stockinette portion, and how I did the decreases. Hopefully it will fit a 2/3 year olds head.
Pattern: None
Pattern: Noro Spiral Hat
I will have my new WIPs up soon.

20 inches is pretty big for a kid's head. With a marl, I have found that only knit/purl stitches show up well. So a nice simple hat to go with the scarf. Matching, but not identical.

Another inspired by hat. There are very few patterns for fingering weight hats for child.
