Happy Holidays

I was just looking through the last couple posts and can't believe I didn't post a picture of this cute hat. I loved how it turned up and it was snatched pretty quickly when I listed it by an amazing artist Dre . I've picked up some really great pictures for her and still plan on having her do another one for me whenever we get around to having the basement finished. I'm in the process of making 2 more. One that is shades of green and one in shades of blue. They're 100% wool and light weight. Of course Pompoms are added for extra fun:)


I've also been working more scarflettes. They've been a great seller online. The shorter ones I've made are a bit versatile. The blue and brown one is the first time I've taken a picture of it this way, but many of the ones I've made before will work this way as well. Great to snuggle your nose in on those really cold days.
This is a new style a tried. I loved the yarn but there wasn't as much yardage in it so I attempted more of a collar scarflett and I really like how it turned out.
Here's one of the recent hats I listed. I've made a few of these and hopefully next year I'll have more instock. My boy loves his hat like this which says a lot because he really hates hats. I have a friend who bought some of these hats too and her boy wears his hat in the house.

Crazy December

I think December is busy for most people. It's been a bit insane for me, but I love being busy.


Here are a few things that have come off my hook in December:

Grape visor beanie

Yay! I finally figured out the visor. I have tried and tried and tried. It seems so simple, but for some reason it kept going wonky on me. Until last night! Ok, truth be told I did rip it out a couple times, but I think it turned out really good.

It's been non-stop here. So what have I done lately that you haven't seen? Hmmm. Here's a few:

Beep Beep

I'm so excited about this new hat I made! It was a request so I'm hoping she likes it. I literally just finished it so I'm waiting to hear back. I love it so much I almost don't want to part with it! LOL. I guess I'll just have to make one for myself.

Busy Bee Making Hats

I've been super busy pumping out orders, which of course I love. But it leaves me with little time for blogging. But I wanted to post a few pictures of things I've sent off recently. All hats.

I also did my first craft show this weekend. I have to wait for the pictures to be sent to me before posting them. But I was thrilled with it and really felt like I was in my element. I loved the whole experience of it. Now I just need to figure out how to display things better. But it was such a great learning experience.

The latest off the hook

My husband and I have fallen in love with this hat. It quickly found a new home. But if a winter earflap hat could be called Divine, this one was. It was so soft and cozy! I made it out of 2 strands of the most luxurious yarn. Merino wool, alpaca and silk. And if providing warmth on a cold day isn't enough, even the yarn has a feel good story to it. A portion goes back the village to build schools for the Sheppard's children. How nice is that. I really hope the new owners loves it.



I am loving making these scarlets! They're so fun. I will confess one of my favorite things about them is picking out the buttons:)
