I was tempted by the Knitting Olympics challenge, and since I'd never knitted either a hat or a sock before in my life, did both.

And here, just for the sake of it, is the Christmas present I actually managed to finish in January, being worn by the recipient.

Is that a...hatsock?

And wow to the sweater! That looks intricate.

The hatsock is brilliant, and I mean that in the actual sense, and not the slangy "Wow, that's brill!" sense. A hatsock. OR, a sockhat - love it.

A hat sock... ... The whole concept has rendered me speechless I have to confess. Even if the execution of it looks kind of cool. But still, a hat sock... *shakes head in wonder*

Thanks to your bravery, other hats and socks that have waited decades to cross the lines between accessory categories and live as one, free to show their uniting love to the world, need no longer be afraid. Long live the hatsock revolution!

In other words, that's just too nifty.

Nice job on the hatsock! I'm still working on my Olympic sweater, but I'm done freaking out over the deadline. It's a nice shade of (sort of) gold, and that's better than a medal. That sweater is gorgeous, the recipient seems to be enjoying it. What yarn did you use?
