Loving this hat…
I’ve been wearing it almost every day for the last week!
The pattern is called URBAN APPEAL, and it’s from the Lisa Gentry booklet which I blogged about here.
Just looking back at that blog post, I find it amusing that I wrote about the two hats I thought I might make first… well, I’ve [...]
Master Eight loves his skull beanie, too…

This one is for my brother… so the colours are fairly [...]

Two new booklets from my friend, designer Lisa Gentry!
Both are titled Celebrity Slouchy Beanies, and feature a variety of popular beanie patterns for the whole family.
One booklet contains knit beanies, and the other one is crochet.
I’ve been flipping through both of them, and trying to decide [...]
This started out as a project to prove to myself that I CAN work with circular needles.
Plus I was feeling a bit bad about the fact that I so rarely make anything for my boys to wear.
So I’m working on this skull beanie. The photos are a bit average, but I have the base of [...]

I so wish that I had taken some photos of these hats ON an actual head… but they were sold before I had the chance.
