Mindful Knitting?

Some folks in our church family are moving this weekend. They have two very small children, so I wanted to knit them hats for their going away. The children are very small with the size of heads you expect on small people. But still two hats in a week? Can it be done.

Phases of hurried, mindful knitting.

Day One: Cast on baby hat with sock yarn. Knit four rows. Paul Green gets massive and horrible ear infection.

Day Two: Abandon sock yarn. Cast on hat with DK yarn. Well, cast on 10 stitches. Then make unexpected visit to hospital to check on my parents' friends.

Day three: Abandon DK yarn. Cast on hat with super-bulky yarn.

And that's where I am today.
