This morning, while everyone here was asleep I finished off a hat for my little man. Its knitted in Noro Kureyon, from a free pattern I found on Ravelry and fell instantly in love with. I had to alter the pattern a bit to fit a 2 year old head, and to be honest it is still a bit too big for him, as you can tell from the picture (it actually fits me but he won't part with it!). We decided it looked a bit like a beehive so T has decided he is "The Beeman" and spent the morning wearing it while looking after his imaginary bees.
It was really easy to knit and used just over one ball of wool so I have some left. What to knit up with it? Maybe I should buy a third ball and make another!

What a great pattern! I love the ridges. And the wool? Well it made me laugh I just used the exact SAME colour in the Kureyon to knit a friend a hatt for her dd! she just sent me a photo of her wearing it so I ought to put it up here too. It is a lovely wool, I am a big Noro fan :)
Ravelry - I have applied so many times to get on there and still have not received an email... they must be busy maybe?
Thanks Claire, I'd maybe try again as my membership didn't take all that long to come through in the end, maybe you are lost in the system.... although its very addictive when you are on it, time seems to just vanish!!
Love your beeman and great that he won't part with it.
Thanks for the pic, he looks very cool (or warm, perhaps)
