still staying busy..

And this is my latest version of the hello kitty hat!

I love the pink along the bottom and I think that will help with keeping it clean since white will show up every little piece of dirt.

These were a special order all the way from Scotland! I'm crossing my fingers that Rhianon from the nifty stitcher  gets her hats!

I'm still taking orders and my turn around time is around 2 days so email me if you would like one.

more scratched off the list...

This sock monkey was a special request to make it blue instead of red!

What do you think?

This order is for a brother and sister...so cute!

And the owl hats are my favorite! I just love selected fun colors!

Thanks for looking! gotta get busy again!

more sock monkeys

another order scratched off the list!

these hats are for a brother and sister, Gladdy's niece and nephew.

here niece just turned 1! and this is a christmas gift. I love how it turned out!

half double crochet stitches, button eyes and super cute ears!

and this is for the 5yr old nephew. (56 stitches across with Ghook)

next up...another owl hat!

not just for kids?

So if I'm making  them for everybody else I figure I should have one for myself. I mean, i do need to stand behind my product!  At first I thought they were just too cute for kids but now I'm liking it for myself.

The pattern I'm using is just one I made up myself. In the beginning I started with a pattern but never got the sizing right because I would use different types of yarns and hooks.

So here is one I whipped up for myself. I wore it today out in public and i felt kinda spunky!  And a little immature but you know what? I love it. I think it turned out so cute and if I'm going to sale them then I think I need to wear one too! I made this one out of my favorite yarn lately, it's called Loops and Threads country ?  And on all the hats I've been making I have been stitching a half double crochet throughout. 

  soooo not just for kids?

And then I just finished another sock monkey hat, this was  a special order for my friend at work. I LOVE this! I'm getting faster and better with each hat. And I got another order today for 5 more sock monkey hats. I had to put together a waiting list! I'm about 2 weeks out!

Thanks for visiting, click here to see more of my hats!

And I'm linking up to these parties:

Make something monday

Finished Sock monkey

It's not my favorite post when my face is in it but I love how my sock monkey hat turned out and it's always cuter when modeled on a real life size head!

this is another order of mine. My friend ordered it for her daughter...I love it!

This was done with a g hook using 2 strands of yarn, 16 rows down and following my Little abbee instructions for size large.

The mouth and ears are my own pattern.

this is why...

my friend came into work with her new baby!  And remember my latest owl  hat? Well it fit her perfect!

look how cute it is! those hats are 10x adorable when on a baby! Once everyone saw that the orders started pouring in!

here's one right here! I love these sock monkey hats! I'm selling them for $20. So far I need to make 2 more then I need to get busy fulfilling all my owl hats orders.

I use a half double crochet throughout and i started with pattern  but had to adjust it because I could not get the gauge right. I ended up using a b hook (i know tiny) and 2 strands of yarn just trying to get the gauge right.

And I struggled with the ears trying to follow a free pattern so I just bagged it and made up my own pattern for the ears. I wish I could share it with you but you wouldn't understand (because my instructions suck). You probably notice I have no tutorials on my blog...its because I'm horrible at trying to explain things and it is VERY TIME consuming. That is why i appreciate everyone who takes the time to write up free patterns and tutorials.

And this one is sold...yay! Thanks so much for looking! gotta run...
