I left it behind on my first visit to the shop. I stopped by to get some more of the blue yarn I used to stripe the Plucky Knitter mitts. I found this yarn was still there calling my name.

This is a Minnie Mouse hat that my friend had made for her. I brought it home to take a closer look and write down how to make it.
It is crocheted and looks adorable when Brandi wears it.

Here is a headband my friend picked up somewhere I am currently working on reproducing. I worked at the Denver Boat and RV show this weekend and saw many of these for sale at a hat booth.
They all looked very similar to this one.

I just finished this pair of hand knit slippers. I realized that I had never made myself a pair. My Mother and I are going to a PJ party at Stitches West and I was reading that everyone was going to wear hand knit slippers.

I just finished these fingerless mitts I have been working on. They kind of remind me of a cupcake with pink icing for some reason.

Knitmore Preemie Hats for Stitches


I have never made preemie baby hats before. In February I am going to Stitches West in California with my Mom. I am making some preemie hats for donation for the Knitmore Girls. I believe they are making them for a local hospital.

I made some curtains for the area over the bathtub. I am not quite sure why there are two large windows over the bathtub. I can't think of a time when I would want to sit nude in the tub and have the curtains open.
