Cowls

I love cowls. So easy, so quick. Around and around, a little variation if you want ribbed effect, increasing a couple stitches each row. But you can't go wrong, a super easy piece to make for beginners. Pick something warm, bulky, or fuzzy. Add a chick flick and a cup of tea after your kids are in bed, you've got yourself a combo for some chill out time. And a cute fashion accessory for the next day.

Hello Kitty

Such a fashion icon, for decades now. Bows, flowers, princess style to steam punk, she has done it all. This was my personal favorite to make, not for any other reason than besides the fact that I love Hello kitty.

Boys neck warmers

I love Fall and Winter. Layers, coats, hats, scarves, all of it! My 7 year old boy loves scarves and asked me to make him one this year. So making something dapper, but still youthful, was fun. I decided to go with neck warmers instead. I think I captured his personality disguised in yarn.

Sugar and spice

I had a request for a few cupcake hats this winter for sisters, I love how these turned out. I looked at several variations, and decided on my own spin. The Divine stitch gave the "frosting" part an illusion of swirled confection. Made with 100% Cotton sugar & cream yarn, and a cherry on top! So adorable.

Don't slouch...or do!

Forget a Raspberry Beret, bohemian is much more chic. My daughter wants one in every color to accessorize with! Love her sense of style.

Minion take over

When your friend refers to her mini people of her household as minions, and you are making a hat for said mini people... This is appropriate. And hilarious! It makes me melt to hear that he tells everyone "my April made it for me."

Seuss style

"these things will not bite you, they want to have fun. Then out of the box came Thing 2, and Thing 1."
