Little Pink Owl

Knitting for your child is fun, sometimes confusing but almost always entertaining. My daughter is 2, she saw me knitting a hat for her Papa and asked if I would knit her a hat. I happily took her to my yarn room and asked her to pick out yarn for her hat. She found a yarn she deemed "princess enough" and off we went. Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride worsted in Strawberry Smoothie is a great yarn, very squishy and a little bit fuzzy.

I worked a simple hat pattern, flat on straights, sewed up the side seams and made little eyes and a beak to finish it off. In a few hours I had a very cute, very pink owl hat. 

Enjoying the Simple Things....

I finally have a finished object to show off! I've been working on Simple Things  by Mary Heather Cogar (Rainy Day Goods on Ravelry). A lovely, simple knit, perfect for purse knitting. I used Noro Kureyon in "red, blue green" colorway. I loved the famous color changes of the Noro, but the yarn isn't very soft and had a lot of knots and breaks in it. I don't think I'll use it again.
