Gift Knits

Remember what I wrote about knitting for me? Well, forget everything I said. My resolve was blown out of the water by a three year old named Emma.

If you recall, I knitted a pair of hats earlier this summer for Emma and her twin brother, Jamie.



This past Wednesday, I got a call from my sister saying that Emma, whom I've never met (her mother and my sister work together), was terrorizing her brother. Emma liked her little red hat so well that she always - - ALWAYS - - wore it. While at the mall with her mother and brother, the hat was lost and she was beside herself. Unable to find her hat, she promptly stole her brother's and has since refused to give it back. Denise, my sister, called to ask if I'd mind making Emma another one.

I was so flattered that Emma liked the original hat so well that I made her not one, but two replacement hats. I dipped into a pattern I had never tried before and came up with this (fancy, I think) little number.

Toddler Felt Hat



And the ever trusty Apple Hat.



Now I've got to box them up and get them in the mail. Stay warm y'all & happy knitting. :)
