Too Cute! I stopped in at Quixotic Musings yesterday and saw baby Claire in the newly finished and adorable berry hat. I just love it. Pre-pregnancy, I thought I'd make all kinds of hats like that. But, there have been no berries in this house, and with two boys, cool and soft skull caps are more in keeping with what's generally on our needles when it comes to head coverage.
Here's a picture of a hat my partner cranked out over the weekend using Lorna's Laces Angel. (Spencer didn't want to be photographed here, so it's not an award-winning shot, but you get the gist of the hat.) It's a basic little hat, but it's perfect for the yarn which is just the softest thing I've ever felt. She bought it on a whim a few weeks back when she ran into a local yarn store while I sat in the car with two sleeping boys.
She picked up the purple variegated shown in the hat as well as the more carnivalesque one shown here. That's the one I'm going to use, though I'm hoping to spin my own hat pattern for this one. I rolled the ball the other day, and it's just heavenly to the touch. I dream of a sweater for me out of something this soft and wonderful!
