Knitting a Hat from Sew Paint It

I finished something I knitted. This is the second time this has ever happened. Someone is wearing it! This is the first time this has ever happened!
I only started this hat on Monday, and I used the free pattern here.

I bought some wool and circular needles on Monday. The needles were 60cm long. I cast on and started knitting and then the needles fell apart so I decided to use double pointed needles. I love them. I like that your item can be any size on them. There is always the worry that stitches will fall off though ...
