Mei-Lings Hat
Here is the pattern for the hat I made Mei-Ling. For Mei-Ling, I just made it smaller to fit her. Click the picture to see it larger and then you can print it . I plan on making one for myself, by the way. These little hats work up so quick and I have a bit of angora that I spun from my rabbit a while back which would be perfect for a few rows along the the front of the hat. You can really play with this pattern, by adding a cable where the stripes are. Or embroidering it. Melanie wants one with crocheted hearts sewn on the ends, for a bit more warmth over the ears and to look cute !
I found a crochet pattern for the same style which might be fun to try

You could even make these out of polar fleece for a quick gift. Endless possibilities !

As an aside, I found out about this article from the London Review of Books, first published Jan 08. It explains the bank situation around the globe very clearly, and it's really worth reading. Keep reading through the bit about the over-indulgent city bankers, and get to the banking explanation.

It sheds a light on the dark black hole of the banking crisis.
and I keep meaning to tell you love your goat :-)
My daughters will love it, I'm sure.
Your granddaughters are so adorable !! I love to see pictures of them.
I'l give it a try.
Have a nice evening.
