Apple Hat (Adult)

In January I promised a baby's uncle's girlfriend I'd make her an apple hat like the baby got. That is my next goal, I need to crank it out by June 1. If it's in writing I have to complete it, right?

I have heard great things in the last week from a knittin' friend about tubular cast-on. To the needles!

Honestly, I already cast on once with the assumption that I'd be able to fit the hat on a small corded set of circulars. I was wrong and instead of slipping them over to the dpns I just start pulling it off. Ooops. There's something to be said for not trying to knit at one in the morning I guess.

Trying to Get Back on Track

Okay, lately I have been made of the fail. I blame the classes and the work. Today, however, I finished a dishcloth. Sad and not a whole lot with goofy mistakes throughout, but I'm going to use it to wipe up coffee spills so I think it'll be okay. It was just the jump I needed to kick me in the butt and back on track. The invitation to a birthday party also reminded me about the hat I promised someone I'd make last February. D'oh.

So herein is the list of things I need to finish:
Fingerless mitts (not really finished since I haven't even started but I love the yarn so much)
Brother's slippers (need an insole, fulling, and bottoms sewn on)
Eric's bag (needs the meshy sides and handles made)
Penelope's slippers (need to make the second one)
Julianne's slippers (need to make the second one, oh, and finish the first)
Misty's doormat (it makes my hands bleed, seriously)
Ashleigh's monkey (I am so close and put it to the side a year ago, grrr)
Andy's hat & scarf (wip for eight years now)

I think there is more, and they should probably be done in that order. I suck. It's just a bunch of gifts that I have been neglecting to give to people. I'm sure there are more but I can't think of them right now. I wonder if I could get the hat made and a little present for the birthday boy (first birthday) by June 1? Gah.
