« knitting a marshmallow | Main | holiday all stars »


january 5, 2007

at mitt by scaffold

This was the subject line in some junk mail I got this morning. I like to read them out loud (they always sound better out loud) and then say "Yes!" "Absolutely!" "Just what I wanted!" right before I delete them.

But this marshmallow bonnet with the pink squiggles is the real deal. "Yes, absolutely, just what I wanted!" Why didn't I put the squiggles on in the first place??

The pink is left over from the bee's knees sweater (I'm making use of all those color sequence repeats I had to wind off to get the pieces to match). I'm so excited about how good it looks with the peachy/pink ribbon from the großmutter sweater. I really think this hat will work well with both sweaters. Which means that I can move on to the next page in the book and make a different hat.

"Yes!" "Absolutely!" "Just what I wanted!"

What fun! I love the way you are using all the scraps from color matching. Your little one is going to be quite the coordinated Miss!

Too cute! Love it even more with the squiggles. Your baby will be adorable in it!

Very cute. I bought "Itty Bitty Hats" the first night I saw it -- unusually decisive for me, but man, those are some CUTE HATS.

Eeep! So cute!

What a cute little hat, and I just love your model!

I just love that hat! I bet it'll look even better on the baby than it does on the puppy. My little boy looks so much like a girl that I might be able to pull that off if I make one for him. :)

It's just the right finishing touch!

Yes - the squiggles definitely make the hat.

I love the Itty Bitty Hats book. I bought it last weekend and I started the bunny tail hat today. Fun Fun! I really like the squiggles on your wee one's hat. What a lucky girl!

Aww....those squiggles just make the bonnet even cuter!

That's so incredibly cute!! I think you need to knit one for the stuffie too, it suits him :)

If it had read “Mitt on the Scaffold,” I would've been tempted to click. ;) Adorable hat!

Hmmm, you haven't posted in a few days, that's very unlike you. Has the wee one arrived? Love the marshmallow hat too.

The pink squiggles have it!

Hopefully, we're back up!

Adorable! Wish I had a little girl to knit these cute hats for!
