hand knitted baby hats…for warm heads & warm hearts

Organic cotton baby boy hat – blue, green

This is made with the same organic cotton yarn as the ‘Chip’.  Shown without a pom pom, one can easily be added.   The ribbing around the bottom gives a nice chunky look for use in newborn portraits.   Really soft and warm, it’s great for the upcoming cold months!

Cotton organic newborn baby boy hat – white

I’ve been busy – and loving working with this organic cotton yarn.   It’s soft, environmentally friendly, and easy to work with.   It knits up beautifully and has such a great texture.    Made in the same pattern as the “Chip”, the white is a nice option for portraits and every day wear.

New – hand knitted gnome boy hat – super soft!

Another road trip to camp today, so to keep busy, I made this gnome hat from some new yarn I picked up last night.  I wasn’t sure how it would be to work with, and how it would knit up, but I’m happy with the result!   The blues are very vibrant and range from baby blue to a gorgeous royal blue.   The lime green adds a perfect accent!

Twin hats now available! Hand knitted organic cotton.

Well, thanks to a road trip to take the kid to camp, I was able to make 2 “Chip”s.  They’re from the same skein, of course, so they match perfectly and would be great for twin boys.  🙂  

I also was able (sans kid) to find time to finish a larger version of the JT (below).   This is the super softest yarn ever, and is a really lovely color, though technically, I guess you could call this color ‘brown’. 

 

 

 

 

 

I’m excited to be able to find time to knit again!   The kid is gone all week.  Let’s see what I can accomplish!

Busy, busy, busy…

I have started making a point every day to make a list of 5 things that I’m grateful for.  I try to make the list different each day, and make it the first 5 things I think of that day.   Today and yesterday’s lists both included “I sold another hat!”   How exciting!  This is all still getting off the ground, and truthfully, I haven’t had much time for knitting this summer, so I’ve been lucky that all the hats purchased so far were already completed.

So….next week my kid is off to camp and I plan on spending my child-free evenings replenishing stock and making some new options.   Gender neutral is a big one!   And bigger sizes for back to school.   Stay tuned!

Hand knitted baby hats – where to get?

I realize that it’s not easy to see where to purchase my hats.  Although I think I’m pretty computer savvy, I have to be at work, I just couldn’t get my brain around setting up a store website.   So, I decided to use Etsy.  It’s easy to use )for both me and my customers), reliable,  trustworthy and user friendly.

Therefore….if you can’t figure out where my ‘Store’ is – it’s at http://www.etsy.com/punkinhead1  or you can just click the link to the right.   🙂  There you’ll see all the hats available now and can easily make your purchase.  So far the farthest I’ve shipped is Houston.  Where to next?

Thanks for looking (and shopping!)

Natural – bamboo – hand knitted baby hat for newborn boy

My newest ‘creation’.   Made of the bamboo yarn I love to use, it’s super, super, super soft.   I love feeling the yarn between my fingers as I knit.  I guess I find it comforting.

Life has been busy – the studio is busy, so days off are elusive, at best.   Evenings are busy with everything wanting my attention – the kid, the garden, the CSA veggies, the hammock.  🙂    So, needless to say, knitting has gone onto the back burner.  I have enough stock for my shop at etsy-  http://www.etsy.com/shop/punkinhead1 – but haven’t though of anything new to do.  But recently I found the urge to make this hat – and mostly to use this yarn.   Did I mention how soft it is?

I haven’t named this piece yet, it’s similar to the Meghan, but made in a different yarn.  Maybe I’ll call it the Daniel, named after her dad, my younger brother.  Yes, that seems fitting.   ‘Daniel’ it is!   What will be next?

Bobby – hand knitted baby hat – boy

This is that sweet little guy I was looking forward to photographing.   He is So.  Stinkin’.  Cute!   He was a challenge – a little wigglier than the average newborn since he was 5 weeks old – but so bright eyed and sweet!   His parents just completed his adoption and feel so very lucky to have this little one in their family.  Congratulations to his parents and I can’t wait to watch him grow up!

Newborn Baby Photography with sweet little hats

Tomorrow  morning I have a session with a 5 week old baby boy – I can’t wait!   I hear he’s pretty cute.  🙂   And I’m sure he is.  I’m excited for 2 reasons – he’s going to be so tiny….and because I’ll have another model for my hats!   Boys have been a little hard to come by, so tomorrow I’ll be able to get a sample of  the Chip design and more of the Bobby, Sam and Jace.   I know that’s expecting a lot out of a tiny baby, but if he falls asleep, I’ll be golden!

Organic cotton newborn baby hat, photographic prop

As a photographer, I LOVE working with little babies.  This beauty was asleep, but a little wiggly at first.   Then, after a good feeding, she was zonked!   She is just so precious, I can hardly stand it!

She is wearing the Ruby hat – and I am currently working on getting an image with the hat without the ceramic button.  While I love the button for photography, I’ll be showing the same hat with two knit flowers (1 inside the other).   This is to make this design more suitable for everyday wear (without the choking hazard the ceramic button may cause.)   The organic cotton and texture are light enough for spring and fall wear – and of course, make beautiful portraits!
