hats, dogs, and nieces





Ashlynn and Brynn's hats

I made these cute earflap hats for my nieces who live in Montana. Considering they were my third and fourth attempts at colorwork, they turned out surprisingly well. They are made out of Knitpicks Andean Silk, which is a dream to knit with. Very fun patterns to knit and I got to practice my pompom making skills. Alas, the purple one (Ashlynn's) has been eaten by a dog. Super aunt to the rescue. I will knit another soooooooooon (and watch my list of projects grow longer and longer). But for Ashlynn, anything. I hope she keeps the next one out of the reach of the dogs.

And now a photo of the cats, as requested by a reader. In this photo, Spike is sitting on top of Lola trying to force her off the perch, but she's not going anywhere!


Update on Dani. She's alive and well, but has had email issues. She should be joining us shortly and showing us pics of her great knitting. She's super-knitter!
