Trippy, huh? Bright red is a hard color for me to photograph. All the iPhoto tools in the world can’t help this out. I’d take a better picture than this silly one if I hadn’t already given this to my mom. It’s her Holiday Celebapron. More here.

Gnomey hat

Ford doesn’t want to wear this adorable hat made in Noro Kureyon chunky, a pattern from Hello Yarn. It was so easy and quick to knit that I’m going to make more. The pom poms seemed excessive, especially for a boy. Maybe a braided tassle might be fun?
