Well, I've been a bad, bad blogger and though I haven't been posting to this most neglected blog, I have been doing some baby knitting. This hat was fun to make and I combined a little crochet with the knitting. Initially I thought to add a knit brim, but I would have had to double it in order to make it sturdy. Since crochet is quite sturdy, I tried it...and...I like it.
I have another on the needles and I am anxious to finish it so that I can start yet another.
I've gone into another area of home business and knitting has become secondary for a while. These little hats are quick and gratifying. I will continue to make them and embellish onesies for now.
I pulled out of the boutique that I had consigned with, and these new items will be listed in my Etsy shop. I'm revamping things. I do still have lots of baby pants and I will embellish onesies to match them. I will probably reduce the price and I am considering discontinuing the making of them.
Hey, have you seen the new items in my Etsy shop? Yes, the closet dividers. They will make for a unique and lasting baby shower gift. They may be handed down or around for many years.
I have a "thing" for pink and brown. It makes me happy. I also like pink and black...er, uh pink and green, hmmm let's see...pink and yellow. Maybe it's just the pink. I like pink and I like this little baby hat. I decided to attach a pompom to this one. It has not been permanantly attached because I'm not sure if I like the braided cord. I may try and i-cord and see which I like better.
This next picture is my favorite view of the hat. Stripes during decreases are so fun--to look at anyway--not SO much fun to execute, but it's worth it in the end.
I have an order for baby hats and booties for the boutique that is selling my closet dividers. I have been ordering lots of yarn and I am now ready to begin the knitting. I'll show pics as I go. Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!
