Happy April!
Can you believe it?
April!
Just back from our Spring Break where the boys and I headed to Colorado so the boys could ski. Libby took a girls trip with her best friend to my extremely fun, awesome sisters home in Florida.
Everyone was happy. So, so happy. Love that.
I finally finished a hat. (AND, I have a finished sweater! Really excited to show that, too!)
The triangular wedge hat is knit just like that. In two wedges with opposite patterns. You then pick up stitches for the crown of the hat. Nichole knit the pattern in two colors. I decided to switch it up a bit and knit it in one color. I must admit, I like it in two colors better, but I like that we can see how one color looks.
{And that? That's Charlie. My now seventeen year old, six foot, skinny, long haired skier. Life is FUN!}

ReplyDeleteI like the hat and would really like a book of hat patterns!!
ReplyDeletecan't believe how big Charlie has gotten...he has changed so much over the years that I've been reading your blog...so fun to see them all growing into who they are! Love the hat...sounds like a fun design to work on. Glad you had a great spring break. Enjoy spring (whenever it gets here!)
ReplyDeleteHatts! Hurray! I am slways looking for new and neat patterns - would love to win!

Sounds like you had a great break! The hat is great! (and no reason to throw my name in the drawing)
ReplyDeleteLove the hat! I would love the book. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI've been knitting for six years and have never done a "grown-up" hat! Would love the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteLove the hat...count me in. Handsome model!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a cute hat. I'm always in need of patterns.
ReplyDeleteI really like the pattern (and the fact that your 17-year-old son will model for you!) Wonder whether a teen boy would prefer the single color, or the two color version? I'm thinking about mine, and I'm not sure. Would love to give it a try, though!
ReplyDeleteThis hat is awesome! I am going to agree, better in 2 colors. But, the 2 colors looks more girly for some reason. One color is more manly. Probably because most men (in my life at least) don't want to wear colorful hats.
ReplyDeleteLove this hat...thanks for the giveaway! (I really like the one color hat better, I guess I'm in the minority?)
ReplyDeleteYes, I would love a copy of the book!
ReplyDeleteOh how my 5'10" thirteen year old would love that hat AND I bet she'd enjoy knitting it for herself.
ReplyDeletePretty hat - I would love a copy of the book!
ReplyDeleteOh how my 5'10" thirteen year old would enjoy that hat! And I'm sure she'd enjoy knitting it for herself.
ReplyDeleteI love your hat! I make a lot of mittens and fingerless gloves because they're quick. I think I should start on hats!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting construction. I'm always looking for new hats to make for my hat-loving adult son.
ReplyDeleteCute hat! So nice that it is teen approved, and willingly worn :)
ReplyDeleteI have a red haired Charlie, too. Almost 13 and one of a set of triplets. I think it's time I made my boys some hats...
ReplyDeleteLove the hat! Can always use more. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to win the book! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove that hat!
