Oopsie Daisy

I've been working on finishing Willow pink stars and hearts blanket to match the blue one I've already made Jayden, but I needed to do something quick that I could finish in a couple evenings after the kiddos were in bed. I'm all about instant gratification. :)  Finished this up last night!

I got this pattern from the Itty Bitty Hats book that I LOVE! (just in case you need some inspiration from a book with some really great kid's hats in it)

A Little Hat

Another project made out of this yarn. Remember that little "accident"? :)

I wish this were a success story, but sadly, this hat was intended for a 5 years olds head and it turns out it's only going to fit a 2 year old. But I gave it away, and I know it will be loved.
I guess it's still a success, just not the success I meant it to be. Oh well. Accidents can be a good thing! :)
Note to self: Don't forget to check your gauge!

Valentine Skirt

Here is Willow's Valentine's Skirt! I knit this while on our road trip to Pennsylvania to see Kaylee and her family. We didn't even have a knitting night together...what is wrong with us???? This skirt took way longer than I thought it was going to, curse you seed stitch. Too bad seed stitch looks so fantastic. I didn't really have a pattern I followed, as skirts are pretty much nothing but a tube. I looked over a couple patterns I liked and then just casted on and started knitting. This is what came out. I decided it needed some knit hearts to give it a little flair!



Today, Willow also got to sport the purple snowflake hat I made!
