My hat model and a new knitter

We were in Minnesota visiting family this weekend, so I brought along a few of my hats to try on our nephew, Ryder. I've been making all these baby hats with no idea if they will really fit a 0-6 month old or a 6-12 month old. Ryder is about 5 and a half months, so he was a perfect baby hat model. :)

Love this star hat on him.

The sweet pea hat looked adorable, too!

Amber picked up how to knit really quickly and was ready to bind off her neckwarmer! Look how cute it turned out! Good job, Amber! We had fun knitting while the boys watched football.

P.S. I forgot to write about this--I visited a yarn outlet store in Edina!!! Who knew such a thing existed? Jim and Idona took me to this yarn shop in Edina called Needlework Unlimited. It was a huge store, and the staff was so friendly. As I was checking out, the cashier told me that they had an outlet store just a mile away where all the yarn was half off!! Jim took me there the next day and I got a few skeins. There was a ton to choose from--good brands, too! Next time I come in town I will have to bring a "shopping list!"
