The call for the purple hats for Click for Babies in Oklahoma kept popping up in my assorted social streams. I like to make a hat or two when the call goes out. Remember all those red hats in February? Click for Babies aims to help educate caregivers about normal infant crying. Babies cry and… Continue reading Tiny stitches add up

Little Hats, Big Hearts Self-Challenge
February is Heart Month and a time to raise awareness for heart health and congenital heart defects. The Little Hats, Big Hearts campaign aims to give a red hat to all the babies born in February to support this. I've made hats for LHBH for 3 years now. This year, I decided to challenge myself… Continue reading Little Hats, Big Hearts Self-Challenge
FO Friday Bring on the Pinks and Reds
First the Pinks I've worked my way few a number of projects. I made two hats for the Women's March and handed them off to my LYS before I snapped any pictures. More will be made, so I'll get them next time. I finished a different pink hat using the Drifter pattern and a… Continue reading FO Friday Bring on the Pinks and Reds
Nutmegknitter Reviews: One-Skein Wonders for Babies
I thought I was doing pretty good when I cleaned up my desk a bit last week. Not that you'd notice as new yarns have been caked and patterns are printed and taking over that space again, but I tried. Anyway, I pulled out the yarn leftovers from finished projects and from stalled projects and brought it… Continue reading Nutmegknitter Reviews: One-Skein Wonders for Babies
FO Friday One Ahead of Winter
Here's to not being that knitter this year who's children do not have the proper accessories for the winter season. Instead I can be that knitter that makes the kid pose in a wool hat outside in the summer. By the time winter rolls around my son will hopefully still like this hat. I really liked this… Continue reading FO Friday One Ahead of Winter
Little Hats Big Hearts Hats
Ready to send off to Chicago for the Little Hats, Big Hearts campaign! I made 12 red hats, also meeting the Sunset Family Living NICU Challenge. Nice way to use up some of the red acrylic and cotton in my stash, and I continued to work on my crochet skills. I ended up with… Continue reading Little Hats Big Hearts Hats
As You Wish
Since my daughter is on winter break from school this week, we've let her stay up a bit later at night and we all settle down with a book to read. That has helped me finally finish The Rent Collector. I liked the story and the references to how wonderful it is to be able… Continue reading As You Wish
FO Friday Crochet Tiger Hat
In my last post, I talked about how PatPatsHats put out the call for tiger-themed hats. You can read more about Madeline's story on the PatPatsHats blog. I wanted to help make a few hats but the yarn had to be just right. The right shade of tiger-orange and the right materials (acrylic), neither of… Continue reading FO Friday Crochet Tiger Hat
WIP Wednesday An Elf and Distractions
My daughter was given The Best Christmas Pageant Ever for her birthday and I picked it up last weekend to re-read it. I know I read it a long time ago. The book itself is only 96 pages and I quickly made it through the first few chapters. Our Elf on the Shelf even picked… Continue reading WIP Wednesday An Elf and Distractions
FO Friday Solitude Dots Hat and More Turkey
I was so excited to finish my Solitude Dots Hat last Friday night. I immediately put it on and wore it all weekend. The kit I purchased at Rhinebeck did indeed provide plenty of yarn allowing for a pompom with the leftovers if you wanted. I'm still considering it, but I don't feel like this… Continue reading FO Friday Solitude Dots Hat and More Turkey
