It's Hat Season

Hat season is almost upon us!

Every year we try to come up with a new hat pattern.

This years new hat seems to be a hit as they are flying off the table.

Some call these hats beanies - the pattern we are using calls it a slouchy hat.

We are still making two fan favorites - the button hat and the cable brim hat.

Since we have been in business for several years now you always have a few hats that don't sell as well as others.  In an effort to clean out our stock we have started the $10 hat basket. 

So far so good on this idea.

Keep Warm!

Shrug

Donna and I are making some news items as we prepare for the Covered Bridge Festival next month. 

On this blog we are highlighting a shrug. 

This was an easy pattern to make. 

When you see it laid out as we have it here in this picture it doesn't look like much.

Here's what it looks like on.

This is made using one of my favorite yarns Titan from Mary Maxim.
We have made two colors - hunter green as you see above and brown as you see below.

Leave us a comment below to tell us what you think of this project.

World Wide Knit in Public Day - 2016

World Wide Knit in Public Day is June 18, 2016.
