Jane's Intarsia Knit Hat

I love making gifts for all the nieces and nephews in my life.  This year I made a series of hats for the three little girls in my life.  I happened to make this specific hat a little small for the toddler in my life.  This would actually fit a one year old perfectly. It has a circumference of 14.5 inches and is 7.5 inches tall.  So I decided to list it on my etsy shop.    You can purchase the hat here.  If you decide  to purchase the hat use this promo code for free shipping: FSKNIT

I love the color combos.  It is a modern take on the traditional intarsia knit hat.  The crosses look like flying swallows. 

If you are feeling ambitious you can get the knitting pattern here.

Brown Paper Packages Tied Up with String

When Where the Wild Things Are came out in theaters there was this fort building competition. I did not find out about it until after it was over, when my favorite blogger built one with her friends.

So here is mine....

I couldn't resist a portrait of Brownie; my best friend of 23 years.
