Another fun request

I got another request to make a special hat for Christmas. One of my friends asked if I could make a Pikmin hat for her husband.

What I loved about this project was I got to try something new in regards to putting a character on a hat.  

The last time I did this for my Gomba Hat I used the fair isle technique to carry colors behind the project.  I wasn't able to do it exactly right for that project but I thought I could try it again.  Well it still didn't work because I ended up with a very small hat.  Gotta figure out the tension!

So I thought for a bit and decided I could just "embroider" or cross stitch the characters ontop of the already made hat! 

It worked out perfectly and the hat turned out great!

Headbands!

FINALLY I can share some of my Christmas presents I made for my family!!! 

I really do love getting to spend my time making lovely gifts for my loved ones!

Awhile back my aunt had this awesome knit headband with a giant crocheted flower on it that she wore at one of the football games.  I knew right away that I could make some for my sister-in-laws and it would be the perfect gift for them!

These were fast and easy to make. 

I finished them off with a fun button on the end so it will be easy to take them on and off. 

Hopefully I'll get a fun picture of my sister-in-laws wearing them to post later!

Merry Christmas!!

I wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas!

Another hat...

Along with those mohawk hats my friend asked me to make a special hat for her friend to help lift her spirits.  We came up this simple santa type hat with this fun yarn.

 It measured about 2 feet from end to end... like forever long!!!!

 I loved how bright and happy this yarn is! Self stripping yarn is so awesome!!!

This hat made me smile, so I hope it does the same for the friend!
