So, as I was planning to meet my dear friend&#8217;s baby last Saturday and I hadn&#8217;t knit anything, my stress level was rising.

So, Friday night after work, I cast on a baby hat&#8230;and then I stayed up til 1:42am to make sure it was close enough to done that I could finish it Saturday before leaving town.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/IMG_3595.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/IMG_3595-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Easy Peasy Newborn Sock Hat by Keri McKiernan \" title=\"IMG_3595\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3145\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/IMG_3595-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/IMG_3595-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.metzroth.com\/katie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/09\/IMG_3595.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nSo, sweet Baby C got a pretty knit hat to celebrate his safe arrival.
