Bunches of baby hats!

Hey, remember that time I mentioned I was knitting some baby hats?

I think we can label these under "things that make you go... aww" :)
I should have put a quarter or something for scale, they are all quite small. Especially the green on top of the green and pink one. It was meant for a preemie but it's probably too small for any baby. The pink and green I gave to a friend before they left NC and is made of some of the softest yarn ever.

April Sprinkles: Bunches of baby hats! April Sprinkles: Bunches of baby hats! Then I made this crochet set meant to for twins, but the twins got too big by the time my mom would have given them away. Still, they ended up going to a cute baby and were used in a photo-shoot! (I would share the picture, but I don't know the mom personally and I would have to ask for permission. Maybe later.)

Making these hats was so fun once I got the hang of it!
There might be more baby-centered projects in my future since plenty of my friends have or will be having offspring soon. I am also happy to take commissions, I have a lot of baby yarn left. (Except the rainbow yarn; I have dibs on that forever, lol.)

Ahh the miracle of life and tiny hands :)

Thanks for reading

Some Green Knitting

I made this set for my lucky cousin. I don't know why I spoil her so much ;) Currently I'm in the midst of crocheting a TON of roses for her wedding. ♥

April Sprinkles: Knit owl hat and camo circular scarf
April Sprinkles: Knit green owl hat
Hoo! Hoo!

























Scarf: Two camo yarns (Yarn Bee Bamboospun and Yarn Bee Boucle Traditions) held together and knitted with a p1k1 stitch (moss or seed stitch... I've heard it both ways). It is beyond soft and really fun to wear. I'm not a fan of camo, but this makes it look good!

Hat: I used the Ullu the owl pattern on Ravelry and Caron simply soft solids in dark sage.

Then finally I made something for myself!

























On our roadtrip across the U.S. we went to the Grand Canyon... in winter... I was very cold. Glad I had my favorite new hat to keep me warm! The cowl scarf is several years old and still my favorite. I used Angel Hair from JoAnne Fabrics and just knit it until it was almost gone and whipstitched the ends together.

Hat: I kind of based it off of a Twilight hat pattern, but not wanting to have any Twilight fangirls gushing over my hat, I changed it up a bit. (Plus the tiny stripes weren't my style.) If I wasn't wearing it so tight over my ears it would be slouchy, just like I like.

I've gotten so much better at knitting in the round, and also for this project I learned how to make "jogless stripes" and it turned out great!

Here is a (VERY bad, mirror) pic of the back of the hat
























Wow! That's a lot of green.
