The beanie looks great, Kate (no rhyme intended). That could be my little grandson sitting there, totally devoted to his game boy or whatever. I had a lookat the Zeebee pattern - it looks very interesting - after I finish the Sidewinder socks (ha ha) I'm going to give it a go. I grafted my first toes together on the long socks, and I'm very impressed with how relatively easy it is to do.
Stay warm
The hat looks great & I love the garter stitch(despite your problems with it) - anyway, we always learn something new!
Garter stitch is easy to knit and requires no thinking while doing other activities!
Garter stitch rows are generally faster to knit than a similar number of stocking stitch rows! :-)
The hat looks great and I'm sure your FO will be just as good. By the way, your Vintage Hues jacket looked great yesterday - looks lovely and warm.
