I put the UT in front of the name because of the "burnt orange" color. :)
(Actually, we're watching the Texas vs. Kansas State men's basketball right now. Go Horns!) I love the "star" pattern created at the top of the beanie from the decreases.
The only thing I didn't like about the pattern is that the top was a little pointy as seen in the top photo... the picture is with a little stretching, too. Once it's on, it's fine and the hubby loves it! :)
I didn't do much knitting in 2009, but I've really hit the ground running in 2010. I'm currently working on the Corona Hoodie for myself... it's a little slow going because I'm S L O W at knitting. There's 5" of ribbing and the picture shows ~3".
I also started the Colonnade Shawl from Knitty last night for a gift to my aunt. If this shawl goes well I'll be making another one for another aunt... both for their birthdays next month. Hehehe... no WIP picture for this one.
I think I'm a little burned out from sewing. I've a few sewing projects that I need to finish, but it's just staring at me on my desk. I'm feeling very "eh" about them... I didn't think this day would ever come! Hopefully, it won't last too long. :)

You know some people look cool in beanies and some look nerdy. Your hubby looks cool, I am in the nerdy camp!
We've all been there, the sewing blahs, it will past. I think that's why I have more than one hobby, if I get bored with one I can just switch it up and do something else. Love the hat, I noticed some of mine being pointy to solve it I just end with more stitches on that seemed to fix it.
Love the beanie! That color is gorgeous!
Your sewing mojo will come back when you're ready, I have no doubt. In the meantime, enjoy this knitting thing! A hoodie sounds very ambitious!
Superb beanie, I love the colour - your husband looks great in it. I think a beanie is essential in cold weather!
@AllisonC - Thanks!! He actually looks good in hats and beanies, and he wears them all the time.
@Tanya - This is very true about the hobbies. :) Thanks for the tip! I made a gray beanie for him that left more stithes and it definitely is rounder. I'll have to stick with that.
@Adrienne - Thank you so much!
@Antoinette - Thanks for the encouragement!
@Eugenia - Thanks!
