Candy Corn Hat Tutorial

Here is the hat I knit for my son. It's supposed to be candy corn! I think it's adorable but I would, wouldn't I? Want to make one for your sweetness? Here is the tutorial.

Golden Cowl

Okay, forgive my lame attempt at modelling but how else could I show this gorgeous cowl neck scarf that I knitted? I used a pattern I found on ravelry.com called Gap-tastic Cowl. Jen Geigly wrote the pattern and basically copied the cowl that is sold in the Gap. I used a different wool type than she recommended and I have to say I would have preferred a chunkier knit. I plan to make another one so I will use her recommended brand next time. I can never tie a scarf in the "cool way" so a cowl is easy to wear not to mention stylish. 

The wool I choose is Harvest Gold and I like it because with the delicate color I felt it could be a day or evening scarf. I am also going to make one for my son, easy to keep on and wrap around his little neck - no drafts allowed. It is just turning colder here and the leaves are beautiful. It's the perfect time for knitting and creating.

little pumpkin

I just wanted to share this cute photo of my little boy at the pumpkin patch last year. I can't believe how much he has grown since then. I knitted the hat for him and I am working on one for this year too. I'll post that one when complete.

It's so easy to make this hat. I just followed a basic 4 needle pattern and then used black yarn to make the face. I love autumn.
