hand knitted baby hats…for warm heads & warm hearts

My brain is going to melt.

You’ve ever been to a conference and learned so many new things that your brain actually hurts from all of the information?  That’s me.   It’s only been 3 days, but it’s been a very long 3 days.  3 days of talking about work, thinking about work, getting new ideas for work, for 12 hours a day.   I. Am. Burnt. Out.   548338_319743551424512_288508574548010_756669_75664385_n

But, learning is growth, right?  New ideas are exciting.  And change is good.  It is all worth the long drive and long days.   We are seeing so many cool things, and getting so much feedback, and getting such inspiration, it’s been really, truly, awesome.

Who needs full brain power, anyway?

BTW, no time for knitting, so more stuff will have to wait….Here is a repeat of one of my favorites, the Ruby, on the left.   And below, an image from another photographer, featuring the Bobby.222592_10151042068056157_1078814403_n   Love to see my hats ‘in action’.

Until then, don’t forget the shop is at : http://www.etsy.com/shop/punkinhead1

Organic cotton white/pink newborn baby girl hat with flower

As I said, I’ve been loving this organic cotton yarn.  It has such a nice feel to it.  I decided to make a couple of variations of the “Ruby”, with all knitted flowers.   Flowers can be removed, or customized, just contact me with questions!

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!)

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!

New hand knitted baby hats, newborn, photography prop

After determining my patterns for the named hats below, I decided to play around a bit with other styles and designs.  This is called, descriptively enough, Small Twist (pink).   Made of the same chunky yarn as the Brooke, this is Imagejust a fun hat I came up with one day.  As all the other hats, this will be available in the store, but this may be the only one made.  If it’s popular, I’ll make more.  🙂

Pink – hand knitted baby hat – Brooke – pink

This beautiful baby, and isn’t she beautiful, came to see us a couple of weeks ago and she was a joy to work with.  How can you not smile when you see that face?  Many thanks to her mom, J,and my friend Mary, who referred her to us.   So happy to have her as a new client.  We love babies!

She is modeling the Brooke, named after another most beautiful baby girl.   This is quickly becoming my most talked about hat!

Sample Images – Newborn/Baby hats, photography props

After finally launching the site and getting my facebook page and online store set up, everything suddenly came to a halt.  I got sick.  Too sick to move sick.  And I never get that sick.   Thankfully, I’m feeling better and have more energy, so it’s time to get back to it!

The first thing I did when I was able to get vertical again, and back to work, was to get some images ready to post that show my hats ‘in action’.  🙂  I’m so excited to see how they look in portraits!   More to come….

Autumn – Knitted baby hats, newborn photography prop

I saw this super chunky yarn online and just had to order it!   Since I’ve been in a small business for over 20 years, I really try to shop locally, but I just couldn’t find it anywhere in town.  Maybe soon.

I love the juxtaposition of the thick yarn on tiny babies and the colors are gorgeous!

Brooke – Knitted baby hats, newborn photography props

The hat that started this all!   This is the first design I came up with – and named after the sweet girl I made it for. 🙂  The bright pink is so cute and the pom pom is oversized fun.
