Speaking of baby hats, this summer my group at NIST had three babies, so I decided they all needed matching NISTy hats. Turns out that the NIST logo lends itself really well to duplicate stitch, though I don’t think that was one of the considerations they had when picking out that logo. For my purposes it was great though, because it made it really easy to knit a basic standard hat and then add on the NIST decoration after. I also appreciate that NIST’s colors are blue and white/grey, which I think is an excellent color scheme. My new institution is orange and black (go Tigers?), which I don’t think I will be wearing all that frequently.
