For Paul’s dad and his step-mom Gloria I decided to make them school color hats (Since he works at U of I and she works at WSU!)

Gold and silver, for the Vandals!

And Crimson and Grey for the Cougars!

I tried really hard to make the stripes “random”, but it was harder than I thought. I kept feeling like they were not balanced right. So my “random” striping turned into very methodical counting and some math. But I really like the way they turned out, so it was worth it. And now I can get the “random” look of striping, without it actually being random. (I’m too much of a control freak for that.)

More Christmas knits to come!
