But enough of my weather rant. What have I been knitting you ask? Well, let me start with one of my favorites (and probably the only one for today. more blog fodder. .you understand).
I give you the Baby Berry Hat

I love this hat! It was so quick and easy to make. I can see now why so many knitters love baby knits. (um, I think I've said that before) I think the toughest part was finding a yarn for the project. I trolled Ravelry trying to find advice and options on baby friendly yarns. There are lots of opinions! I finally just went to my LYS and settled on Mission Falls 1824 wool. It has a nice squishy feel and is machine washable.
I gave it to my friend at her baby shower and she liked it nicely, but her husband REALLY liked it. Now, he wants me to knit him a hat. So what did I do....I bought her bamboo needles and some yarn to learn! Actually, she mentioned that she's been wanting to learn, so I figured I'd help her along. I plan on knitting him a hat soon once my yarn arrives. I bought yarn from Beaverslide Dry Goods after reading Brooklyntweed's post about his new shipment of yarn from them. It should be arriving soon and I can't wait!
I better end it hear. I need to get myself ready for class. Have a good rest of the week!
