A Reason To Knit

I got the best gift ever right before Thanksgiving, a wrapped up pacifier and booties which could only mean one thing- the news that we will be grandparents next July! We are so excited and thrilled. We found out also it is going to be a BOY! Oh joy, a boy! Out of the box floated these balloons!

Now I have more reason to knit! I will be able to put good use to the Grandma stash of blue sweaters, and the pumpkin hat and blankey ....and keep on going from there!

This blog has long been silent, however it may be more alive again this coming year as I have more reason to knit!

Punkin' Heads

The adorable Kurbis baby hat pattern, a free one off Ravelry. I did this one using worsted weight Wool-Ease with size 5 dpns to start the stockinette rolled hem. Then changing to size 6 dpns for the rest of the project.

 

 So cute! Finished in time for a photo shoot for Halloween. The hats are modeling atop of upturned bowls.

I made another one the next night since I really enjoyed making the first so much. The cute stems are made with an I-cord. These are the same size, just on different bowls.
Not blocked yet, of course....These will look better on some real punkin' heads!
