What to Knit Next...

With only the buttons left to sew on my Little Coffee Bean cardigan...and the weather turning colder outside, I am considering knitting up a few hats. Will it be...


...a Charlie Brown cap or a Linus toque?

Hey! Only one month till Christmas...knitting all the way!

Cowls are in!

Here we are in mid-November and enjoying some very nice mild weather. However...handknit winter weather should be just around the corner. If you gotta have winter, at least you can enjoy some wool to go with it!

Next on my needles will be the infamous Yarn Harlot's Pretty Thing Cowl. This one will be for me.




Then, for two trend-setting teens I hope to make The Fifth Avenue Infinity Scarf. This is a free pattern found on Ravelry and seems to be the scarf of the season. If you're not on Ravelry, the pattern is also available at
tentenknits

Very cool...

Happy Halloween

I made two of these little pumpkin hats for NICU graduates at my work. The first one I made with the rolled brim, but for this second one I used ribbing instead. I preferred the ribbing after all, it had a better fit. Both the babies and their hats were adorable.Pattern: Kurbis Baby Hat
Yarn: Bernat Satin
