Pumpkin Hat Still Fits!

But will he keep it on...?

Click HERE for a flashback to last year wearing the same hat.

Babies in Hats

There is no better "thank you" than a photo of a baby wearing a hat that I knit for him/her!  I love to know that the hats are being worn and enjoyed.  Here are a few of my friends' babies in their "Itty Bitty Hats" (patterns by Susan B. Anderson!):

Maria and Camila, in her manzanita hat

Brady in his football hat

Portia in her Ribbon hat (Click HERE to see Portia in her cupcake hat!)

Tony, Freya (in her pumpkin hat), and Wendy

Click HERE to go to Kate's blog to see her son, Lincoln, in the blue striped candy cane hat I made.

Congrats to all my friends with new little ones!  They are so precious!!

Classic (Toddler) Mitten

I finished one mitten for Drew tonight.




The thumb looks a little wonky because I haven't sewn in any ends or removed the lifeline. I want to try it on Drew tomorrow and see how it fits before totally finishing it.

Dinosaur Hat in Action

Brrr!  It's been cold here the last few days--only in the low 50s.  It's perfect hat weather, though!  Drew wore his new dinosaur hat at the park today.  I forgot to bring my camera, but I snapped a few photos when we got home.  It looked so cute!  Our hands were a little cold while we were out...I'd better get started on some mittens!

 

Roar! (A Dinosaur Hat)

I finished the Dinosaur Hat last night and tried it on Drew this morning.  He is not quite the willing hat model that he used to be.  He kept trying to yank it off his head.  Hope he will keep it on once the cold weather comes!  My camera was out of battery so I had to take these with my phone.

I wasn't looking forward to sewing on the spikes in a straight line, but it wasn't too bad.  I sewed each spike closed first.  Then, starting with the spike closest to the ribbed cuff, I picked a vertical row of stitches and started sewing the spikes on, making sure that I always stitched back down into the same vertical row.  

Now I need to decide if I should make the matching mittens.  I think Drew might be distracted by the spikes and try to pull them off.  Maybe I should just make green mittens with blue cuffs, sans spikes. What do you think?

Almost done!
