Praying for Stellan

You may have noticed that a few of my items have the label "Praying for Stellan" at the end of them. If you haven't heard of Stellan, you can read his story here. Some of the proceeds from those particular items will be donated to Stellan's family to help with medical expenses.

Anyway, check out the shop, there is a darling new bonnet in white! I'm working on a few custom dolls right now so there hasn't been much time for knitting. We've also just bought our first home (yeah!) so that is also keeping us busy. And life in general with a 17 month old is crazy enough:) But I do have a few fun knitting projects half way done, so be checking the shop later this weekend for new pretties!




Here's the sweet 17 month old exploring the river

Silk Bonnet

Oh you can't imagine how wonderful this silk bonnet feels! Its pearly and slightly shiny. It is the softest thing and such a pretty mix of colors. I got the yarn from a fellow etsian in Ireland! She hand paints her yarn. She called this yarn "mirror" so I'm calling the bonnet "reflections". And it really does remind me of a mirror. Its absolutely gorgeous and I just had to make it into a bonnet.
Go check it out in my etsy shop!

A Springtime Baby Bonnet

I'm excited to show you this bonnet. I learned this style from my mother-in-law, who is a fabulous knitter from Albania! Before my daughter was born, my mother-in-law taught me how to knit and we made so many bonnets.
These are great for babies because they keep their ears covered. I love the sweet scalloped edge along the face and also the trim on the top and sides. It just adds to it's soft and delicate feel. This bonnet is made from oh-so-soft cotton. I love it, it feels so good to the skin.
If you like it, just go here to check it out.
