Hats, Hats, and More Hats!

Well, I have a few friends having babies in September and October so I decided to knit a bunch of baby hats! I combined and edited patterns for each of these hats so if you are interested in making something similar, let me know!

I found a new favorite yarn which I used to make all of these hats. It is called the Sassy Skein and I bought it at the Yarn Shoppe and More in Old Overland Park. It comes in fun colors and has a little sheen to it!

Happy Knitting!

Fun Easter Project

I found this link to make baby chicks and bunnies. I started making a chick for Annie's Easter basket. It is a quick and easy pattern and it goes really quick!

The Toasty Topper

The Toasty Topper is a great pattern for kids that like to take their hats off. (My daughter is really good at it!) Plus, it is a hat and scarf all in one. Here is a picture of the Toasty Topper that Ashley made with a link to the pattern.

Booties Booties Booties!

The day after Thanksgiving, I was able to find the greatest book called "Cute Knits for Baby Feet." [http://www.knitpicks.com/books/Cute_Knits_for_Baby_Feet__D31127.html] I had not tried making socks before so I tried making some baby booties for a friend. If you are interested it trying baby booties, I will loan you my book. Here they are!

Scarf and Hat

Ashley and I decided to work on a project together for our friend and neighbor, Sara. We decided to make the Misti Chunky Ribs & Ruffles Scarf and a braided cable hat with a pom pom made from the scraps left over from the scarf. Here are the finished products!
