Custom order, yo!

How awesome is this color combo going to be on a toddler (with a huge head)?!

Thank you ladies bearing gifts from afar! That was so much fun...especially watching the budding friendship (more accurately, co-conspiracy) between our girls. Can't wait to see you again...maybe we can have a banjo/uke jam sesh next time!

Upcycled: T-Shirt ——> Custom Hat

Upon the advice of my dear friend Margaret, I am now listing a custom order on Etsy: send me your used t-shirt and I’ll knit a custom hat out of it.

The Etsy listing is here.

The hats turn out WAY better than (even I) expected. Soft (the softer the shirt) and stretchy, and good for all-season wear. I love these hats (and I’m my own worst critic).

I listed on Etsy another upcycled cuff. The last one sold (albeit to someone I know — when I created the Etsy shop, I didn’t expect friends and family to buy(!), NO pressure, just FYI).

This one has green and sweet little gold beads.
