Knitting commission -- a purple and black kippah/yarmulke. I decided to get fancy and start with a Latvian braid edge; by the time I realized Latvian braid is hell to do on anything bigger than a mitten cuff, I was in Shonen Retard mode and couldn't back down. 
thank you thank you thank you!!! ^^

What you can't see in the tutorial is that on the first row, every stitch puts a twist in the yarns. Not a big deal on, say, a 36-stitch mitten cuff; hugely annoying on a 120-stitch hat. o_O
The tricky thing was that the internet is full of crocheted kippot for sale, which are labeled 'knit yarmulke many patterns', and thus swamp the search results for knitting patterns. I ended up just figuring it out by trial and error.
