I haven't got much to show you today; just one itty bitty FO, but it's a good one :-)
Remember this?
My first spindle spun yarn that I finished a couple of weeks ago? Well, after finding out Wednesday that Samm is having a girl, I went home and turned it into this: 
Clover's First Hat.
I figured my first knit for my first grandbaby should be made using my first handspun. I'm really very pleased (and more than just a little surprised) with how it came out.
I've begun the second sock for my Sockapalooza Pal, but I've only got about 20 rows of the 60 row cuff done. I really need to get moving on that; I'd like to finish those and still have time to make the July Sockamania socks (I've barely even looked at the pattern yet). Not to mention the SKB and a Holiday Headstart project for this month. I was hoping to make another of the Fisherlad Guernsey sweaters for my great-neice, Ella (Colin's sister), this month but I'm thinking that might not happen. Maybe next month for that. I picked up some really pretty mint green Encore to make hers with; Colin's is in the dark green. I thought it'd be cute for them to have the same sweaters in different shades of green.
I think I need to clone myself so that the clone can go to work for me and I'll have time to get everything done that I want to! Not only do I have all of the above on the "list", but there are at least 17 gazillion baby items I want to knit before December :-)
That's it for today, folks. Have a great day!
The hat turned out great! Very cute, and the perfect things to knit with your first yarn.

I know what you mean about cloning yourself. My list of what I want to do is so long!

You're getting more done than I am these days and I'm currently not working! Sheesh!!
Perfect use for your handspun. Clover is gonna be as cute as all get-out in that hat!

The hat is great, and I'm glad you used your first handspun for such a special purpose.

oh that cloning thing is something I have wished for too! Love the hat and the yarn....it make's it easier to make things if you know what they're having but....for me I have to knit both right now as Ali doesn't know what she's having. It's tempting to have a really good look at the scan though!

There is a lot of love in that little hat, I believe Princess Clover will be stunning in it.
