Jayden's Monster T-Rex

I will never make this dinosaur again .... unless Willow becomes dino obsessed and begs me to make one, then I might.  It took forever and then there was so many pieces to have to sew together, and I really dislike doing tons of finishing work.  I didn't even have it all sewn together when we left for Washington, so I finished it up after I got there just a couple days before Christmas.  I had no idea it was going to be so huge!   This thing took up a ton of room in the suitcase!

 

 

This pattern came from a free pattern from Patons that I found on Ravelry and I used a bunch of Comfort DK to make it with.   

A Hat for Bronx

I ran across this yarn while I was in Kelso visiting one of my favorite yarn stores, La Favorites.  It immediately made me think of my friend Sabrina, who has a son, Bronx, for whom I've been searching for yarn to make him a funky little hat out of.

I didn't really have a pattern for this, something like CO 40, knit for  4 or so inches, then decrease around, on size 10's or something.  I gave it to Sabrina today and she sent me this picture.

How cute is he?
