I had this color combo stuck in my head for awhile and felt the need to knit it out. It does actually fit on my head but it’s a tish snug for my liking so I’ll just call it a children’s hat. Made out of Merino wool, alpaca & silk. Totally suitable for children, right? Handwash, lay flat to dry. Completely practical. Ha! Not at all. ANYWAY. I started with a simple skull cap, chocolate, brown & cream (like coffee!). When I was finished with the cap, it didn’t look quite done to me so I decided to pick up a few stitches and sort of knit-sculpt to make tiny animal ears. This is the result….

The Most Impractical Children's Hat Ever

I think the next iteration will be in a far more practical yarn option.

Have you done any crafty experimenting of your own lately? Got pictures to share?

Tonal Tuesday: rustic rainbow

The colors were rich, warm and broken-in. The most comfortable cozy rainbow ever.

Tonal Tuesday: grandma's apple pie

As American as Apple Pie. Where the hell does that phrase come from?
