door closes, another one opens! I've been offered a spot
at my local farmer's market.
To the right, you can see my latest hats. The first is an apple (the color
didn't come out right in the picture, it's more of a Christmas red). It is
sized for an infant/newborn, and I am going to include my own pattern for it below.
Next is a Cabbage Patch Kid inspired hat for a newborn. This one
took me a few tries to get right, as that loop stitch sent me for a,
well, loop. The pattern can be found at Repeatcrafterme.com.
And finally, some ear flap hats for kids. I made these with Deborah Norville Collection Everyday Soft Worsted, and they are soooo soft, shiny, and adorable!
Now go get out of the house this weekend and enjoy the lovely fall weather and local community.
