I had also planned a pair of matching socks....oh dear! any suggestions how I can summon the knitting elves to stop by?The consequences of too many detours.....
Since it's mostly knitted in the round there's not much finishing, only the sleeves to attach and the collar to pick up but I'm still in a panic.
Turns out that I have less hats to knit for this winter. 
Here's 2 out of three, just one more for the nephew.
This one out of a double stranded DK wool bouncle, is a tad too tight so I'll probably knit a slightly larger one with the same yarn. There's plenty left over from this cardigan I knitted last year.
This is knitted with my handpainted chunky wool . Notice how the colour pools? I was a little disappointed with how the striping turned out until my daughter and the receipient said 'it's cool, I like it', and so, if the 'customer' is happy, I'm happy :)

That's a lot of finishing WIPs you have there. Take it easy, it always works out in the end. :) I do agree, your handpainted hat looks good.
Good luck on finishing up. I'm cheering for you!
i saw your christmas tree!! right behind the hats!!! :)
the handpainted hat's so pretty, it's no wonder that your daughter likes it! Good speed on the jumper.
i have seen both hat in real!nice!
jia yu for the jumper!
I have better results when I knit faster and new projects just follow the flow as well. But the fingers, arms and eyes get all the sore consequences.
The hats look great and cozy. I just started my first hat!
