The next project I decided to make a quick one, so I did a quick toddler-sized hat out of a beautiful cornflower blue worsted that we dyed over the summer. It was the last remaining bit of that yarn - we did 4 of the 4 oz skeins (about 1 lb) in the color, and three went the following weekend at a craft fair in Hamilton, MA. The last skein hung around (as single skeins of a color seem wont to do) until a client chose it for some women's mittens in December. And the last bit? Well, now its this:
Sorry that Teddy Bear (my model) is so dark! For some reason, he didn't look that way and I only had time to snap a single pic. No pattern on this one, just worked with toddler head measurements and made it up as I went.
I've already cast on and done the top of a Little Sister's Dress. I did one for my niece when one of my sisters-in-law was pregnant in a lavender cotton, and now my other sister-in-law is pregnant and everyone seems to think it will be a girl. Given that I've caught the boy-baby bug, I have to indulge my love for the cuteness of little girl clothing somehow...! If her child doesn't turn out to be a girl, I guess I'll have a ready-made gift for someone else down the road. Plus it is burning some of my stash - the top is a maroon wool mix and the bottom, a pale pink something of similar weight (label has been lost, unfortunately). I'll post some pictures when it begins to look more identifiable, as right now it is just a smoosh of color on my needles.
