Samson




This is Samson. My last post had his big sister, Olivia. Isn't he sweet? Look at that perfect skin. I used different brands of yarn for this hat. The weight of the yarns are similar so I didn't need to to a gauge (I'm not the gauge type). I like using different brands for the same project...it's a surprise when the project is complete. Thanks pics Jenny!

Olivia

This is Olivia in her winter hat. I've been using fabric buttons this season. I love them! I found some that are much easier to attach so my fingers don't get raw...a big bonus. I'm not the thimble type. :)

Blue Sky

Hi there! I, along with many, many knitters am completely in love with Blue Sky and all they offer. Kathy, at Shepherd's Choice, has the best selection of their yarns. I love to go in and just feel all the different weights and marvel at their colors. I think Blue Sky is the yarn company that truly "gets" color and executes well. I made these hats for a client that had a couple baby showers to attend. The two colors together have been popular this season.
