That couch saw some crazy baby teenager makeouts in it’s day. Probably makeouts from multiple generations! Well, that thought killed the mood, huh? The colors are still delightful even if the idea of parental makeouts is not!

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?

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?
