Hats of the baby variety

One of the things I worked on all summer: baby hats. You would think, with the amount of baby things I'd made that I had 6 of them myself, but you would be mistaken. There is just something about baby things that makes me want to knit.

I'm sure it has a lot to do with how lazy I am. I love to knit, but I love to knit things that will be finished sometime before I die of boredom. Baby knits are the perfect cure for that. You can whip something up in a couple of hours and amaze everyone around you -- except the other knitters who think you're selling yourself short.

Who can resist a perfect little hat that can be knit in one evening?

Same style, different buttons.

If I'm working on something I'm not overly pleased with, I can set it down and start a baby hat. Baby hats never fail, are always cute, and always finish in an acceptable length of time.

Knitting with a touch of crochet!

My house is full of baby hats now. They are littered across the side tables, piled on top of books, and busting out of drawers.

If only I knew more babies with cold heads.

Remember you can find all my creations at my Etsy shop -- KnitMonkies.

I am very impressed with your craft pieces, Bronwyn. I don't know where you find the time but since you are your mother's daughter, I know you possess super human abilities. Did you teach yourself how to knit or did you take classes? Today, in a magazine, I saw a knitted sleeve for a jar-it was cool. You'd use it when gifting things wrapped in jars. Have you ever seen or tackled a knitted jar sleeve?
