I fancied a change from stitching this afternoon, so I knitted this little preemie-sized hat to send to World Of Charity Stitching:

Next is a little blue one, same pattern – available here. Easy to work on whilst I enjoy CSI….just how many episodes are there, seems like every day I see a new one!!
