Beginner Knit Hat Pattern

I've been asked so many times if there is a pattern for the hats I make, but I was too busy filling Christmas orders to ever write it down until this week. I'm part of a Facebook group that is specific to knit hats which allowed me a great source of pattern testers so I could be sure I was putting out a good product.

If you know anything about my creative tenancies it is that I like to give people options so just like in my crochet pattern I give THREE different versions of this new hat I named after Minnesota's first state park - Itasca.

The Itasca is a beginner friendly hat that can be knit in one color, two, or three. It fits ages 6-100 due to a stretchy brim. (Shown here on a seven year old)

One of my new favorite yarns is Loops and Threads Copenhagen because it is self striping. I followed the one color pattern for the hat on the left and if I want more of a fair isle look I will use the two color pattern and use the Copenhagen yarn for the middle section.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Elsa's Birth Story

The morning of July 1st started out like all the other mornings this summer. The kids let me sleep until 7:30 and then came in to wake me up. We ate breakfast and I started picking up around the house. We had spent the previous day at the town pool and because the heat index was going to be just as high again we made plans to go to our beach. The kids really wanted to practice their swimming skills but I didn't want to have to pay for the pool again. At 8:30 I lost my mucus plug and my brain started running a mile a minute. Could this mean we're getting close? Could I actually go early for a change?I turned to Google and learned that labor could be hours or days away. I feel I should warn you - if you decide to Google mucus plug be prepared to see photographic proof. Why people felt the need to post pictures to Google images is beyond me! Moving on..... Just in case I ended up being one of the lucky ones who only had hours to wait until labor started I kept up with my clean

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves.
