Baby hats

While looking for patterns for size 13 needles because Rowan Thick N Thin yarn in GORGEOUS colors is on sale, I saw a wonderful children's hat....when I followed the links looking for that pattern, I found an article on how to figure out what size hat to knit for a baby gift....it is a great article and can be found on the craftsey sight at:

Now I will try to find the hat that I loved to add here.

I ended up on an Etsy sight called KnotEnufKnitting.  I bought four of this lady's patterns....two cowl patterns, one adult dress pattern, and the hat pattern pictured above.  I will file them in dropbox knitting file with file name KnotEnufKnitting.

I had a great day today!  I am tempted to tell all of the fun things that happened.  However, I will stick to only those that are knitting events.  Tuesday is the day that I knit at Yarn Therapy at the Wild Ramp.  My favorite day is Tuesday because of the knitting.  However, I have to admit that the group gathered today admitted to each other that we enable....maybe even encourage our addiction:  YARN!

I was late.

So after I bought a muffin I shared the yarns that I had bought at the fiber event in Athens, Ohio.  Then I had fun seeing everyone's new knitting projects.  ...Hmmmm...Oh Wow.....I am getting so off the subject.  I will go back and start again.  This is not simple.

Kelly sat beside me.  She had started a lovely sweater in Berroco Blackstone Heather.  I REALLY liked the yarn and the sweater.  Then tonight Love Knitting sent me an e-mail that advertises the very same yarn at a reduced price.  So I went on-line to see what others had done with the yarn and found the blog site:

I think that her site is worth visiting....but the post of interest is at:

It is a darling child's sweater from this yarn that I didn't want to loose.

OK.  I quit for tonight.  I will add/edit this blog post tomorrow.
