i can feel it coming It's the first day of October and already I can feel the snow coming.
So I'm making a snowman hat (pattern from Itty-Bitty Hats I've also got plans for scarves and gloves for myself and, of course, more new hats for wee one. After some recent sweater disappointments and a general big project knitting malaise, I'm hoping this can be a new start for me. It's knitting season and it's on! posted by alison at 9:18 am | in

Adorable. Almost (almost...) makes me wish I lived in a place where it snowed. :) Posted by: Leslie at October 1, 2009 10:19 AMIt IS knitting season for sure! that hat is ADORABLE....REALLY REALLY love it. Posted by: Cindy at October 1, 2009 11:42 AMI made a similar hat for my daughter when she was young by attaching a nose and eyes to an ivory beret. I think my niece wants it now. Posted by: Angie at October 1, 2009 1:23 PMOh, thank Heaven! I thought I was the only one who made hats with the hem like that! They're mostly skater-dude-style beanies. Most of my fun has been in the color choices and stripe placement, but I might just have to try some characters like this one. Posted by: LibbyH at October 1, 2009 2:18 PMtoo, too cute - there are so many cute hat patterns out there for little ones it's hard to choose. I'm thinking the Josephine (Popknits) for M & maybe the fish hats from Knitty for the boys (I'll have to ask them first of course - M already OK'd the Josephine hat - just meed to pick yarn) Posted by: Donna at October 1, 2009 5:20 PMYou just gave me a brilliant idea! My two year old needs a hat and I think that is going to be the one!! :) It's adorable! Posted by: Samantha at October 2, 2009 9:38 AM |
) to help reconcile myself to the inevitable. I've wanted to make this hat for so long. And considering that I have already made eleven hats from this book, I'm surprised I haven't made this one yet! The yarn is Berroco Pure Merino - nice and soft with crisp colors - and as usual, the pattern is amazingly clever. I can't wait to make the cute red scarf to go around the brim!
