WILD THINGS
Where the wild things grow there is beauty and ...danger? Yowza!! A rubber dinosaur is about to eat this lovely hat. Well, the hat looks like a purple toad stool so I guess it may be tasty...to a rubber dinosaur. Very lovely hat. The dino? Scary.

BOUNTIFUL HARVEST
I came across this wonderful yard display of Fall vegetables and I thought it would make a beautiful backdrop for this hat picture. The hat was knit from my abundant supply of brown tone yarns (matches the leaf) and it is the perfect color and thickness for this time of the year. Those ears will be kept warm with this hat! That's for sure!!

STURDYBUILT
This is a thick one. You can see that it is double knit and very sturdy/durable. It is very warm especially around the brim in the ear area. Don't let the blue sky fool you. It's cold outside today. Built right. Sturdybuilt.

MELISSA
Woo Hoo!!! It's somebody's birthday today. She's a veggie-tarian and she really likes fruit. She's colorful and fun and peppy. Yah, the hat is, too. So, here's to you! H.B. and many more.

LOOKS LIKE MERENGUE
It really does. Light and airy. Reminds me of the merengue cookies my Mom used to make. You know what I'm talking about. They melt in your mouth as soon as you put one in (your mouth). What a great memory. Yummy, too.

RESTORATION
There is worth in taking the old and restoring it for posterity. Old houses. Bits of yarn. Both can be made anew into something useful. Restore the Dickey house in Texas. Make a new hat. The same.

AMBER
Perfect coloring for a hat called AMBER. I made this double knit hat from brown speckled yarn and a multi colored fine and fluffy yarn. Together they make a very nice combination for the Fall season and for a lovely young woman who is celebrating her 19th birthday today. H.B. Amber.

HARVEST TIME
The colors in this hat remind me of the autumn season and that also reminds me of the gathering in of the seasons harvest. This is my favorite time of the year.

LUCKY
Since today is Friday the Thirteenth I thought I would post something that is the complete opposite of unlucky... and call it lucky. Actually this hat doesn't have anything to do with luck. There was a lot of planning that went into the making of this hat. It is made from some very soft pastel yarns which give it a very Spring-like look. It's a cute-y. Called Lucky. ta da

the CITY SKYLINE
I really like this hat. It is made from three different yarns. I started and ended with the soft oatmeal colored yarn and added a band of fluffy brown yarn and a section of a very light neutral toned soft yarn. The colors blend so well and the texture is just right. Soft on the ears and warm on the head.

IT'S PARTY TIME
I really like this mixture of yarns. There are two fluffy rosy pink yarns knit together to give this hat the added warmth necessary for colder weather. The single yarns, although fluffy, are not very thick. Double is better. The colors just make me smile. Let's party.

DESERT BLOOM
The colors in this yarn remind me of a blooming desert cactus flower. It is a pleasant contrast to the neutral colors of the surrounding desert terrain. Beauty is everywhere.

the CLASSIC
Puffy oatmeal colored yarn mixed with black yarn make a striking tweed like combination. The yarns are very soft to the touch and will keep someone's ears comfortably warm this winter.

INDIA PEARL
Oh, wow! A sweet little girl celebrated her sixth birthday yesterday. What was I thinking letting it slip by like that??? So, this beautiful little hat is dedicated to her. There are "frozen" colors here...the ice-y whites and the cool blues. Just lovely and perfect for a lovely little lass. H.B., India and lots of birthday hugs and kisses. O.K., it's time to sing. Let it go!!!

the WORKOUT
How am I doing? Heart rate is good. Burning calories...maybe. The best part about this exercise machine is the cup holder that this fine looking hat is resting in. Yah, that's enough for today.

AUTUMN DELIGHT
I have a bunch of darker colored yarns that are perfect for use in the fall season. This time I combined a dark brown wool yarn with a multi colored variegated yarn to come up with this wide stripe knit hat. Sturdy and soft at the same time.
