Hat Update

I have a nasty cold, which means I had plenty of time for knitting while lying on the couch all day yesterday. First, the slouchy hat:

Not sure what I think of this. I can't decide if I like the stitch pattern or not. Perhpas I should have gone with your normal everyday stockinette stitch? Another yarn maybe? Thoughts, Emily?

And a made to order baby hat, for Adam's latest nephew/neice (or as I have dubbed them--niebling, you know, like sibling):

It's probably a bit too big for a newborn, but having little to no knowledge of newborn heads, it's really the best I could do. Cute, isn't it?
