well sort of ;) i've been filling a few orders! here is the most adorable set of pixie hats! ugh. too cute!
the pattern is from the talented designer behind 4asong.

i've made the toddler size for both, and instead of a braided cord at the end, pompoms were put in.
how cute!

these make great photo props, as well! i'm sure these tots will be lookin' uber cute sportin' these toppers come winter.

the yarn chosen for this project is paton's canadiana in colours pale teal, dark teal, crantini, and coral rose. so super sweet. !!

but do you realize what this means? i have nothing on my needles now!!! ***gasp! *** i need to cast on for a project quick! but what should it be? any ideas?

also, it looks like we are most likely getting a new floor. it would be exciting, except we only just installed our floor about a year ago. our silly old dishwasher started to leak and water was coming up through the flooring.
insurance will cover it, so it's all good, it's just more inconvenient than anything, ya know? but i suppose it is christmas if we're getting a new floor soon, and a new dishwasher!

have you started any christmas knitting yet? are you a fan of toques? how far in advance to you start your home made gifts for christmas? on a completely different note, any fave brands of dishwashers out there? i could use some tips! coffee's on, come chat!

  1. I've got my list started for Christmas gifts. Really for as many gifts as I have to give if I'm going to make them I have to start now...fortunately this year there aren't any hard things to make. I know it seems odd to think of Christmas in July but really I like to have everything made by the 1st of December so that I can actually enjoy the holiday :)

    What you should knit now...SOCKS!!!
