Knitting wee things

Here are two things I've made for kickpuncher. 
This vest has been a slow work in progress since January.  It's hard to stop and start the pattern because I had to make many adjustments to the gauge.  Also the instructions are British, which are surprisingly different than American instructions and take a bit of time to decipher.  It's a cotton yarn I bought at Fancy Tiger. 

This little hat came together in just a few hours.  I bought three skeins of this sweet green cotton yarn in SoHo and it has been calling to me since I got home.  Yes, I have three other knitting works in progress, but WIPs be damned!  I wanted to make a soft, tiny hat for kickpuncher's spring debut.  It only took half a skein!  Babies are so tiny . . .

That vest is so cute! And I love that green yarn as a hat. It is hard to resist the instant gratification of baby hats.
