{knits} baby hat // black and white

Who says a baby hat has to be blue or pink?  I love my friend Carrie and that she loves the color black.  I also love that baby clothes are in such variation now.  Fluorescent, colorful patterns, and crazy unique colors.  I do love the traditional baby pastels but its fun to spice up the wardrobe every once in awhile.  Don't you think?

I love the air is getting chilly.   Fall is my favorite season.  I'm anxious to get out my knitting needles.  I have a lot of inspiration for Christmas gifts.  Hopefully I'll get them all finished. 

This sweet little hat I knitted for my Canadian friend and her adorable little boy.  I hope he'll get some good use of it this winter.  Miss the two of them.

I had a request for a newborn hat and a one year old hat from one of my new friends up here in Alberta.  I love making these little hats and whipped them out pretty fast.  I decided to do coordinating colors for these two hats.  Wouldn't they be so cute on sisters?

The best thing about traveling around all the time is meeting all these people.  I met Katie while we were still in Corpus Christi.  Her husband has since then found another job and moved them both back to Michigan.  Katie and I have remained friends (thank goodness for social media!).  She is expecting their first child here in May and I couldn't be happier for them.  She asked me to make them a little knit for a newborn shoot.  They aren't sure what they are having so I used a blended yarn of pastel colors.  I can't wait to see it on baby b!

Can I say again how much fun these little hats are?  I got the basic pattern from Tricky Knits and I usually rework the design a little to fit my taste and yarn style.  I whipped up this little gem for my new friend Andie and her little girl, Scarlett.  The yarn has just enough glitter and a little bit of sequin to say "yes i'm girly" without being too prissy.  I did a little photo shoot with Anna the other afternoon.  I couldn't resist.

Do I hear crickets chirping around here?  Or is that a cobweb in the corner?  Very sorry to neglect you blog for so many months. Christmas got the best of me!  Big things are happening around here as well.  Keep tuned in while I post everything I've been working on.  Very exciting!
