New things...

So many new ideas that I want to share, but I just can't yet.  Soon.  I hope soon.  Meanwhile, here is a sneak peak, at least as much of a peak as I am allowed for an upcoming pattern :D  Ok,  so you can't really see anything except for an adorable boy, but use your imagination...

Well, one thing I can share: I will have a new free pattern up for this cute little beanie. It is perfect for the Spring as it is in Organic Cotton.  I actually made a few for The Man to wear to the gym so those photos will be coming when I can pin him down :)

Anyone have any good ideas for this pretty yarn? 

It is Madeline Tosh DK and the color is Ms.Taylor.  My daughters kindergarten teachers name.  I think they may have been referring to Elizabeth Taylor, but I still think of the Kindergarten teacher :)

Lots of trouble. 

But, super cute!

Beanie hat to keep his hair back.

All the boys will get one to match The Man :)

Breast Hat Pattern Release!

Breast Hatt pattern is now available for $4.00. It has been clarified, centimters added, top down & bottum up instructions as well as a new Copyright. The Copyright is like a license to sell the finished hats for charity, auction or donation. The pattern cannot be reproduced to sell or handout.  

Here it is in all it's glory; the Breast Hat Pattern.  Okay, it really is just a simple top down, knit in the round beanie.  Still, it is fast and fun and cute to boot!



Who says all breasts are white???  I am sure that somewhere there are multicolored pink ones :)

Of all my kids (other than the BOYS, of course!!) only Mady would proudly wear a breast on her head  :D

This hat is so comfortable! 

  For the Breast Hats, I used Knit Picks Simply Cotton Worsted in "Malted Milk" (I am not kidding!) & Dogwood Heather for the white breast and "Toffee" & "Reindeer Heather" for the darker breast.  VERY soft, organic yarn. I am not a fan of knitting with cotton as it does not have any give, but these were so soft and luscious, I will definitely use it again to make little baby hats.

A special hat for my new little niece yet to come.  Knit from Noro Silk Garden.  Perfect for a little girl :)

Sizes are preemie to large adult

I rate this pattern beginner to advanced beginner as it is knit from the top down, in the round, using circular needles.  The increases used are lifted increase; wonderful increases, but a bit tricky. I highly recommend this video. 

Have fun with it and be creative (wouldn't a breast beret be funny?)  Happy knitting!

Oh, you know you WANT to make one of these!

Friday will be a fun day.  I am releasing a free pattern for a top down hat.  Super easy, super customizable, super cute.  How can you resist?  Remember this little hat?

I have finally written my pattern! But wait, it comes with options...customizable nipple and areola!  Really, it does!

And, two band options; rolled and ribbed.

Sizes preemie to large adult.  Preemies need love too and what adult male wouldn't want a hat in the shape of a breast? Can you imagine the banter in the locker room? 

This hat is a great accessory to promote breastfeeding, raise awareness for breast cancer or as a comical gift.

More photos coming later this week :)
