Kitty Hat
I didn't have time to mention it, but I knitted Ainsley a cute little kitty hat for her first birthday. It was a great way to occupy my hands during the debate last Thursday. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of the adorable little thing, so hopefully Amy will have some of the tot wearing it. I used two strands of Red Heart Baby Teri in white, which has two acrylic strands and one fleecy nylon one, on size 10.5 dpns. Originally, I was hoping to knit her this fuzzy hoodie with Polarspun or Pixie but I couldn't find either yarn locally and didn't have time to order it anywhere. A few frustrated days later I found a simple pattern for a toddler hat with ear flaps in an old knitting magazine and decided to adapt it by adding a couple kitty ears. Although I'm not a big fan of acrylic yarns, the Baby Teri was perfect for the job. It makes a super soft and cuddly fabric. I have quite a bit left (250 yds white, 200 yds pink) but I'm not sure what to make with it.
