Updating on my progress...

I started this hat earlier in the week for a young boy cousin...

I used a pattern from a Canadian publishing, "Easy Cable Knitted Hat"

I finished the Capitan hat for a cousin's daughter-finally got the buttons sewn on! And just finished the above hat last night.
The Capitan hat was knit with the yarn doubled, so it was about 105 yards. The blue cabled hat was knit with Lamb's Pride Bulky, about a little over 100 yards.
