Felted Flower Toddler Hat Etc

Here is one for my stash! It is a small toddler size wool hat with a felted wool flower. The flower is knit, but the stem is crochet chain stitch...I just didn't feel like making i-cord.

Speaking of stash, somebody loves me! Look what I got for Valentine's Day!

Toasty Toes

These are the Valentine's for my little lovies!

Awhile back I promised further sizing for these slippers and here it is!

• children's size 8-12 use 2 strands worsted weight yarn and size 1o.5 needles
• children's size 12-3 use either 1 strand super bulky and 1 strand fingering weight or 3 strands worsted on size 11 needles

As you can see, I've been busy making memory books. They are all for dear friends who have been absolutely wonderful the past few months (but then they are always wonderful). Since paper is not my usual medium, I have no fancy scissors or cutting gadgets, but I think they turned out quite well anyway. The first two were made using scrapbook paper and embellishments, but the third was created from scavenged materials (old books, newspapers, junk mail envelopes, etc). Over all, the Fun and Funky version was the most fun to make.

For archival purposes, the memory books can be viewed via these links. When I try to edit the posts to include labels and notes, I loose my slide shows.
