My first knit of 2007. I find after a disappointment, it's a good idea to pick up something that will lift your spirits. I have wanted to make Maddy a team hat for quite some time. They all wear crazy hats as they run out of the pool with wet heads to the car in the winter air. Their coaches MAKE them wear hats, which is a good thing because we all know they wouldn't listen to their mothers. Maddy was asking for the hat last night, but it was still damp and needed a pompom. She can wear it tonight!
The boys are wearing their snowboarders every day to school. Each of the Morehouse hats I have made from kits have come out on the small side for an adult, fitting my 8-13 year olds just fine. I have become quite attached to the cottony soft Morehouse Merino yarn. One reason the boys are wearing the hats is that they are so soft against the skin. These hat kits will be my knit pick-me-up from now on!
Cute hat! Another great knitty pick-me-up is “Fetching” from knitty. I'm working up a pair now. Bet Maddy would love a pair to match her hat. (Liv is trying to steal mine before they're off the needles.) I'll have to put Morehouse Merino on my list of “must try” yarns. Thanks, MB.

Really cute!
I didn't know you had posted about hats today. I really am trying to do everything you do, aren't I? Kind of embarrassing, actually. :)

I'm loving this hat. I think hat's are my next knitting attempt. I'm learning things so slowly though, but my gosh, that sucker is cute!

Lovely hat. Reminiscent of the Harry Potter scarf. The one I worked so diligently at that my daughter only wore 3 times.
Hope your holidays were peaceful.

Very cute hat! I might need to make one for the new Harry Potter movie coming up in July!

There is nothing like a hat for a knitting pick-me-up! My daughter went off to school with one of my hat projects today. Unfortunately, my son alway says they are too scratchy. I will have to try Morehouse Merino on him.

Very pretty hat, soon you will have others wanting them too!
I made my son a bunch of skullies and when I went to visit him at college I had to bring lots for everyone! They love them, take it off and tuck it in their pants pocket.
