Gifted away

Howdy.

I finished Yarnboy's Halfdome! Immediately thereafter, I gave it to its intended recipient, Camodidi. I forgot to take a picture of it, so there's no FO picture to post.

Two issues came up in completing that project.

1) I've never had to do mattress seaming on reverse stockinette before. It didn't turn out quite perfectly, but Camodidi didn't mind and so neither do I. And now, after a little research, I know how to do it, but the hat is finished so-- too late!

2) The hat itself is slightly, well, acorn-y, because the last few stitches on top come to a little pointy nubbin, which sort of conflicts with the smooth half-dome effect I was going for.

Aaaanyway the point was to make a hat that fit Camodidi's giant head without making him look— as he puts it— like a sloth, as other knit hats do. Since he likes it, I am pleased.

So. Yay.

Oh, and next time I will definitely knit the thing in the round.
