13 December 07 - 21:24Hat or helmet?
It's for toddlers though, so some extra padding to prevent bumped noggins can't be a bad thing. Today's project (in just under the wire) is the Toasty Topper, a tie-closure hat for wee ones. Knit it in Ultra Alpaca or any warm worsted wool. Find the free pattern HERE.
OK, my picture won't load correctly, so follow the previous link to see the cutie-cute hat and I'll try again when the software isn't being so fussy!

The new Handmaiden shipment has arrived from up north, full of new colors of Sea Silk, Cashmere, and a new cashmere blend sock yarn, Casbah! Yummy, yummy sock yarn....
