a finished child's hat and the sock with the contrasting garter stitch heel that I'm not sure I love. (the hat doesn't look right on the bear, so he's passed on this modeling gig.) The band of the hat is all one color, and the inch or so above it (to where the band covers if it's flipped up) is two strands knitted together. Above that is every other strand knitted as though fair-isle-ing. I got some great advice from the Feral Knitter and want to knit another one so I can try it! (I'll explain in an actual post, instead of continuing to type in the "photo caption" space....)
