It's FAH-REEZING Outside!!

So we finally made it to Oklahoma. We are getting settled in our new house, yay! It has been super cold and Bella so loved my hat I made from April Draven's convertible hat pattern that I had to make her one! I used Sensations Rainbow Classic Pattern yarn which is soft and thick.  I have been wearing the one I made myself and I love pulling my hair through the top! It looks so cute! Anyway, here is the hat. It only took me a few hours since it was for a preschooler. :) I highly recommend this pattern! It is super easy and the hats look so nice! People won't believe you made it yourself! :)




Thanks for looking! Hopefully I will be posting a lot more now that we are settled again. :)

Another Spectacular Hat

I used April Draven's pattern for the convertible hat. I was running low on colors that I liked so I just mixed and matched these yarns.  They are all the Vanna's Choice yarns.  I really love this yarn. The colors are great, it is super soft and a bit fluffier than Red Heart worsted weights.  I seriously had a 6 inch scrap of the purple left when I finished.  If that's not cutting it close, then I don't know what is! I was going to make this hat as a gift since I had already made myself a hat for this winter, but now that it's finished I'm thinking I may need 2 hats this winter! ;)

Women's Winter Hat

Title is kinda boring and I was unsure of how this hat would look when I started it.  I made this for a friend who is also moving somewhere cold after living here in Oki for 3 years.  I love it so much I think this may be the hat I make for myself for our move!
Onto the photos. :)

Free pattern available at http://www.caron.com/
it is called Tri-Color Cloche but as you can see I only used 2 colors.

With Sprinkles & a Cherry on Top

Continuing with the theme of making things to keep the family warm when we move from this tropical island in December, here is my daughter's winter hat.  I used this pattern as the basis for the hat.  That pattern is for a small doll hat, but I enlarged it to fit a 4 year old.  Also I had to make up my own scalloped edge for the middle of the cupcake.  I tied small knots in different colors of yarn and tied them on to make the sprinkles. I also made the cherry from homespun yarn.  My daughter was unimpressed with the hat until I added the sprinkles and cherry then she was thrilled! :)





Not sure what is going on here with the evil look and crazy karate hands! lol
