Donna's Knit Kit Returns

Donna is back at it with her knit kits. 

She made this lovely shawl.

This shawl is made using a yarn called Twizzle from Mountain Colors.

This kit included 5 mini skeins of yarn that has been dyed in rich gradient hues. 

Donna said that she really enjoyed making this and would like to make another one.

These make terrific gift sets. 

These can be made in whatever color the yarn comes in.

Cozy Wool Hats

The Farmers Almanac is forecasting another cold winter and many have asked us what kinds of hats we are making. 

This weeks hat of the week is called Cozy Cabled Hats.

This hat is made using Cozy Wool by Loops & Threads. It is 50% wool and 50% acrylic.

I am sure we will be making these all season. 

Goodbye Summer 2014

Today is the last day of summer - at 10:29p tonight autumn begins.

Today I thought I would look back at some pictures of how the summer rolled out for 

Knitting by Pam and Donna at the Swissvale Farmers Market. 

The farmers market continues through the end of October. 

Knitting by Pam and Donna will be there with their fall and winter items.

I want to give a shout out to Andrea Vok of ATVok Photo Art for taking these pictures all summer and allowing me to share them on our blog.

Thank You Andrea!

Self Striping Hats

Did you know that today, September 15, is National Make a Hat Day? 

According to the Web site Crochet Me it is.

Last week we showed you the button hat - this week it's the self-striping hat.

These hats are made with self striping yarn from Loops & Threads called Impeccable. 

You never know how the hat is going to turn out. 

I love the bright colors - it makes you happy just looking at them.

We will have these hats at the Covered Bridge Festival on Sept 20 and 21. 

Button Hats

Fall Festivals are beginning!

On Sept 20 and 21 Knitting by Pam and Donna will be participating in the Covered Bridge Festival in Washington County.

That show is when we will be bringing out the hats and other wearables for the cold weather.

This week we want to show you some of the button hats we will have at that show.

These hats are made with Lion Brand Wool-Ease Thick and Quick Yarn. 

I have to tell you that this is one of my very favorite yarns to work with. 

This is a very thick and warm hat. The brim covers your ears very nicely.

Each hat also has a button - some of them vintage - some of them new.

We want to show you some of these hats individually so you can see the colors and buttons.

Here are some close ups.

What is this?

I was sitting at my desk at work when a text came through with this picture.

I thought what the heck is this?

One of my friends was out shopping at the Creative Re-Use Store in Pittsburgh and thought of us when she saw these hat forms. I told her to buy two of them to see if they made our hats look good.

Needless to say we went back to the shop and bought another one.

Here are the hat forms with hats on them.

These hat forms make any hat look good. 

They are going to be a great part of our display this upcoming craft show season.
