Deja Vous...Almost

This morning I completed a custom order and it very much like this one that I made 2 years ago.  It took about 3 tries to get this hat to size.  I always crochet and knit tightly, but for some reason, while working on this hat I had a tighter gauge than normal.  When I've made newborn hats before with half double crochet, I've increased to 48 stitches.  In this case, I had to increase to 56 and use a size H hook. 

I couldn't leave well enough alone and added a little crochet mock button at the top of the hat.  Little button loafers complete the outfit and it's ready for the baby shower this weekend. 

 As always, I'm working on some things.  I will show pictures soon.  It's difficult to say when due to work, but I'm gonna do it!

Have a great day!!

I Quit

After a very busy non-knitting weekend and many projects looming over me, I've decided to put down this sweater. If I had more time to try to decifer the Danish, I probably would have stayed with it. As it is, I have decided to make closet dividers that match the baby's nursery and some other personalized gifts.

I have other knitting obligations that have to be fulfilled. Today, I will begin and hopefully finish a pair of booties for my daughter's order that is needed on Saturday. I will try to get pictures posted of her entire order tomorrow, which includes handknit pants, an embellished onesie, a hat and booties. I have also begun the knitting of a hat to match this baby tee that is also needed on Saturday.

One day, I will sit down and figure out how the Latte baby sweater should be knit because I really like it. Have a happy Thursday!
