A Mavis hat for Cooper

Are you noticing a trend? This hat pattern is just the cutest and now that I've knit it twice for gifts, I decided (and Nicholas chimed in too) that Cooper needed one as well. It stays on his head, keeps him warm, doesn't fall in his eyes, and looks so darn adorable.

Details:
- Yarn: Plymouth Yarn DK Merino superwash
- Pattern: the hat from the Mavis pattern trio by Oomieknits
- Needles: US size 5, sized down, as is my usual for my loose tension.
- Specifics/modifications: Same notes as the one I knit a few weeks ago. I knit the 6-9 month size and it fits Cooper perfectly. My ravelry page for this project can be found here.
I captured a few of these photos before I sewed on the button, but they were too cute not to include. ;) I'm thrilled and he seems content when he's wearing it, so that's a success!

Habitation throw, finished
After many months of sporadically working on this project, it's done! This was a longer term project for me, due to the size, and it suited me well to keep it as a background project to work on when I felt like it. However, with the beginning of January, I found myself wanting to wrap up a few projects, this included, so I worked on it more intensely until it was finally done.

Creative goals for 2023
At the beginning of each year, I like to make a rough outline of some creative plans. I know that these tentative plans will invariably change, but I like to have a starting point when I look ahead to projects, especially in terms of using yarn or materials already in my stash.
