I think it is hard to deny the appeal of hats. Whether you knit or crochet, hats work up quick in just about every weight of yarn! In my years of fiber adventures, I have made classic hats, wild hats, baby hats, ugly hats, wee hats, themed hats, and simple hats. This week's WIP Wednesday… Continue reading WIP Wednesday More Wild Hats

FO Friday Sunflower Tam
This week for FO Friday, I have my entry for the EatSleepKnit Yarnathon Q3 challenge. The challenge was to knit a pattern that you added to your queue or your favorites during your first year as an active Raveler. For me, that was 2007! I originally queued the Sunflower Tam on June 21, 2007. I… Continue reading FO Friday Sunflower Tam
Get Your Game Face On
I posted this picture of Jackson mid-yarn on Monday to Instagram. Seemed like a good way to start the week, with your game face on and all that. Now that we are here on Wednesday night, I'm feeling a bit more like this Jacob sheep I spotted at a fair over the weekend - it's… Continue reading Get Your Game Face On
Not a Pumpkin Head
I am pretty excited to feel the ever so slight chill in the air in the mornings. I have a drawer full of handknit socks ready to go and several hats that I can't wait to put back in to service. It does seem a bit early to me though that everywhere you turn there… Continue reading Not a Pumpkin Head
Hats on Friday
Sometime last week, or possibly the week before, as the outside temperatures took a major dip, school sent home a note that I needed to send "winter gear" in with my son. And then we also had to turn on the heat. The time had come to dig out the hats and mitts and scarves… Continue reading Hats on Friday
The Quiet Busy

As the holiday season rolls in and we're looking forward to a fundraising event for family, Thanksgiving,… Continue reading The Quiet Busy
FO Friday – A Hat
I feel like a terrible knitter sometimes. All of a sudden, winter weather is coming on strong and my kids still did not have proper winter hats! I did make the Lorax a hat back in November with sparkly purple yarn she chose (Kollage Glisten), but I was impatient in getting to the crown decreases.… Continue reading FO Friday – A Hat
Pining for Rhinebeck
Oh Rhinebeck. We wait all year to go and then woosh! the weekend just flies by! I had a really great time and consider this year to be a big success. I went with a list and pretty much found what I was looking for: yarn from Green Mountain Spinnery to do a JETS hat… Continue reading Pining for Rhinebeck
Yarn Along – May 9
~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading, and the evidence of this often shows up in my photographs. I love seeing what other people are knitting and reading as well. So, what are you knitting or crocheting right now? What are you reading? ~ from small things Hurray! I finished all the knitting… Continue reading Yarn Along – May 9
Hats (part 2)
On Wednesday there was a hat in progress in my "Yarn Along" photo. I mentioned it had me grumbling a bit. Why? This hat was intended to be for the little nutmeg - probably the last cutesy hat I can get on him before he is able to grab them off. I used a pattern… Continue reading Hats (part 2)
