Check me out on Etsy!

This blog is to let my Etsy shoppers see their pieces in progress and also to help me remember changes I've made to different patterns. Here is a link to my Etsy site:

My next project will be a pattern I purchased from http://www.crochetbyjennifer.com/: a pair of diaper covers in Lily Sugar 'n Cream cotton in blue and white for my 4 month old sons.

I have just finished up these hats for an Etsy order, which I modified from a Joann's free pattern for a men's knit hat with a purl edging. My customer asked for a smaller size hat with no edging that sticks out, so I ribbed 2 x 2 for 1 inch around the bottom instead of the 3 purl rows. I also used size 8 dpns. For the black hat, I used the suggested 64 stitches. For the gray, since it was a thinner weight yarn, I started with 72 stitches. I think they turned out pretty snazzy! I hope she likes them.
