Oh....has it been this long since I've posted? Over two months? I can't believe it! A computer crash, camera problems, another international move, six family members felled one by one by winter colds.....it's been quite a hectic last few months. But here I am again.
I'll keep this brief for now, but want to share this hat - another one of those fun, gratifying, one-day projects I love so much.
Anna is modeling the hat (and just like the toddler she is, she moves so quickly I can barely capture her on camera), but it's actually sized for a six or seven year old child. I made it for a friend's little girl, who is going through chemotherapy right now and needs something warm to wear on her head. She loves blue, blue in all shades but navy.
I'd been looking for the perfect yarn for a few months now, and was thrilled to find this at a local yarn shop yesterday because it combines so many beautiful shades of blue. Cornflower blue, sky blue, even a bit of lavender. The yarn is Cascade Bulky Alpaca Paints - and I used less than one skein - casting on 60 stitches on a size 10 needle. Perfect project for these snowy snowy days!
