Shhhh......don't tell.....

but there was still some $$$ on my account at a local yarn shop called Skeins on Main in Rochester from a Christmas gift certificate that I had not totally used up and I have just been itching to make something that would give me some quick gratification (since I seem to be running into problems with all my other projects). There was some talk on a message board that I frequent about making some NICU preemie hats and I thought this would be a great idea. Of course, I had NO baby yarn in the house and I just couldn't settle on "one" skein, so I bought four. Anyways, here is the site with the patterns and I am posting a picture of my new purchase along with the double pointed needles that I needed, too.
