Kitty Ears

These two hats I made for my friends Jesse and Aaron in exchange for a huge bag of yarn!  Her purple one has little rounded earflaps and they both have kitty ears.

With the matching handwarmers.

And here they are wearing them!

This is me with my friends set up under my tree at the farmer's market, downtown Santa Cruz.

This is Davis, who is on a bicycle trip.  He got this bear hat and he shared his cool booklet with me.  I absolutely loved his book of drawings and many were of animal hats!  His blog is:  falsehoop.blogspot.com

Hawaii Hats

These hats were inspired by my cool girlfriends who are going to Hawaii this winter.  They are really similar to the one I made for myself recently.  Rasta hearts forever!

Tree Frog!

Here is my new little animal friend. It is a tree frog!  I love the red eyes and I describe the yarn as tropical camo although officially it is called Amazon.  Extra long earflaps with no tassel.

Pretty Girl

This is an adult-sized hat with earflaps.  It was inspired by a hat that my friend Elle made.  Hers was knit; this is my crochet rendition.  It has red and yellow flowers with green spirals going all around and wavy ridges in the light blue.
