My lil' pumpkin

Remember the pumpkin hat I made for my nephew, Ryder, last fall? Well, I made the same hat for my lil' pumpkin this fall! I used the same yarn, Debbie Bliss Rialto DK. I love this yarn--it is stretchy and has a nice sheen. This is the first hat I've custom-made for Drew. Since I was able to measure his head before I made it, it came out perfectly!

I decided not to tack down the leaf to the hat this time. I think it gave the leaf a more realistic look.

Below are a few photos during the time I was working on the hat.

Drew loves the jumperoo--and it gives Mommy a few minutes to knit!
It's nice to be able to have my little model try on the hat as I go...he's very cooperative!

Ta da!

  2. Hi, Erica! I'm home already! The visit was way too short!
    Kelly, I am so impressed by all that you are able to accomplish! You amaze me! Thanks to you and Jim for a lovely visit. I had a full dose of lovebug, that should hold me for a month! ;-)
