Treetops Earflap Hat

Finished an earflap hat for my godson Nicholas. The main yarn is Laines Magnifiques "Treetops" on Rayonnant Organic Merino. The trim yarn is a wonderful yarn I purchased at the Upper Valley Fiber Fest, 50% Merino, 50% Alpaca from Mount Ampato Alpacas. This hat matches the pair of longies I made him before. Luckily they still fit him (for now!) and he can sport his matching set and get more awwwws from the ladies at his daycare.

"Splash Monkey" Hat

I finished this hat the other day for my dear friend's son Jayce. This was an experimental hat. I wrote up my own pattern as I couldn't find one that was exactly what I wanted to do. So I am hoping xxxcrossing fingersxxx that it will fit him! The yarn is Alligator Knits "Splash Monkey" and it's such a cute colorway. I am glad that I still have quite a bit of this left to knit up something else wonderful with it!

Ready for a Close-up

Horton for a Horton is finished! I absolutely love, love, love the way this hat turned out. This colorway is wonderful and even more so knitted up. The colors complement each other so well and it's just such a sweet combination of blue and berry. Apparently Maddie Cat loves it too. She's definitely a diva and she loves to have her picture taken. She was sleeping peacefully on the back of the couch but the moment she heard the camera shutter open, she made her way over and plopped right on top of the hat. I appeased her and snapped a few pictures of her sitting happily atop the hat. Kenzie, I sure hope you don't mind a cat hair or two in your hat!

Chick-A-Dee Grayson

Last night I received these photos of Gracie modeling her longies and hat. I am sure you will all agree that she is absolutely adorable! Plus her mommy is such a wonderful photographer! Check out her work here at Ashley Morgan Photography. I couldn't be more pleased with the way these longies and hat turned out!

Yarn is Family Roots "Grapefruit Love" on Willow Merino.

A Finished Set

Grayson's longies and hat are finished! This custom set was so much fun to knit. A friend of mine had me knit these for her little girl, Grayson, who is one of the most beautiful little girls I have ever seen. The set is knit up in Family Roots "Grapefruit Love" on Willow Merino. It was a joy to knit up and is so soft. The colorway is absolutely lovely and such a pretty girly combination. I cannot wait to see Gracie in this set (pictures of that coming soon!)
