Bug has finished another hat. This one will be for the Dulaan Project.
details: This hat is knit with two strands of Cascade 220, in white and pink, on the red KniftyKnitter loom. It has a brim, which is doubled for extra warmth. I think this will fit an infant to toddler, it has quite a bit of stretch to it.
Oh, I just had to share Bug’s outfit.
Yes, that would be a sundress, with a dress-up ’ballerina skirt’ over the top and pink cowboy boots. The girl has a style all her own.

There is a new knitter in my house. Bug wanted me to teach her to knit, again. Last time she got frustrated and gave up. This time I bought her a set of knitting looms.  She took to them like a duck to water. I started by showing her how to set up the first rows and before I had even gotten all the way around the loom she said, “Ok, mom, I can do it myself.” And she did.
This is her first FO, a hat for her baby doll made from two strands of encore worsted in pink and purple. It took her less than two days.
As soon as she finished the first hat she was bugging me to let her “pick out her own yarn” from my stash . . . ummm, hold on there little girl that’s MY stash, get your own . . . no, wait, here . . . and I gave her a bunch of colors of Cascade 220 to choose from. She picked light pink and white, and she is making a hat for herself.  If it turns out too small for her she wants to donate it to “the children who don’t have a hat”, so it will go to the Dulaan Project if that’s the case.
