Even though it was a rainy weekend, I didn't get quite as much knitting done as I had hoped, but I still have a couple finished objects to show off. First up, 3 very basic preemie hats for the donation in honor of Emma. I adored the jester hat I made last week, but figured for this purpose, basic + quick = more hats produced. I cranked out these 3 over the past week and a half...


Ravelry project link is here. I used scraps of Moda Dea Tweedle Dee (blue tweed) and Plymouth Encore Chunky (yellow) that I had laying around, as well as some Moda Dea Baby Talk (light purple). I actually like the fabric that was produced from the thicker yarns better than the Baby Talk.
My other FO was Bella's Rockstar Scarf (again, Ravelry project link). I was originially going to knit a rock-n-roll style outfit for a teddy bear as Isabella's 3rd birthday gift, however when her Mom said she didn't have much interest in her current teddy bears, I instead set my sights on this cute puppy dog...


Armed with some funky pink yarn that I found in my stash (the label says it is Made in Italy and brand is "Coral" - and it was greatly discounted whenever I did add it to my stash), I cast on 14 stitches and knit.. and knit... (garter stitch). I thought Bella would adore the color and funkiness of the yarn and that both she and Mr. Puppy Dog can wear the "Rockstar Scarf."
As usual, I had some nosey onlookers during the photoshoot...




Tut might look like he was innocently trying to give Mr. Puppy Dog a kiss in this picture, but I can assure you that was just a test to see if he was going to bite back...

Love the nosy pup shots! I put the premie hats in Saturday's mail, so hopefully the will arrive tomorrow? Maybe Wednesday?
You've been busy!
Dianne - they got here this morning... wow, thank you SO much!!!!! YOU were busy! :)
Love your pack checking it all out...
For a second I thought it was Mr. Bettis and not Tut in the picture. Their coloring is similar. However I know Mr. B would've already had it in his mouth running. LOL
Love the projects!
