A little bright hat to cheer you up!

Yeah, finished another little hat which I had knitted before my surgery ... just needed to add some bobbles.  I figured with having to get my shoulder fixed I wouldn't be able to knit for a bit so I knitted and crocheted a bunch of items ahead of time and left the finishing touches for doing after the surgery.  I must say ... this is working out very well.  I am able to knit a little bit at a time right now, it's been two weeks since the surgery.  And yeahhhhh, I can type using both my hands now.  Still have to take it easy.  I can tell this healing is going to take a long time.  

Anyways, here is the little bright apple green hat I just listed in my shop.  I'm working on finishing up another one which is for a smaller baby, more like a newborn to 3 month old.  That one is a dark moss green and will have off white crocheted buttons on it with red thread in the middle.  Not sure yet what will be on the top, either a tassel or something else.

Amigurumi Ballerina Bear and a petite pink pixie hat

Like I mentioned before ... I'm hooked on amigurumi for the moment.  I finished this little ballerina bear.  My aunt gave me a book of amigurumi animals and one of the patterns was for a little bear wearing a dress.  I just didn't care for the dress they put her in so I made up my own.  When I finished the little dress on her she looked like a ballerina to me so I gave her little ballerina slippers and a flower on her head and voila ... my little amigurumi ballerina bear.  She's for sale in my BitsOfFiber shop.  If you click on this link you will get to her fast:  http://www.etsy.com/listing/98967896/amigurumi-ballerina-bear-crocheted-bear

This little pink pixie hat I made while I was visiting my mom last month.  It's an itty bitty little think.  Perfect for a very small preemie, a doll or a stuffed animal.  I love the pink, it's a very soft cotton mix yarn.  It's not listed in my shop yet, probably later this week.  I made a second one like this, but a size bigger and should fit a newborn.  Same color, didn't put the ribbon in it yet. Both of them will be going up for sale in my shop in the next week or so. 

Pixie hat and a Redskins hat

Just listed this gorgeous pixie hat.  The flower has not been sewn onto the hat yet in case you want to purchase it for a boy.  I do love the color combo I used for knitting this one.

I also knitted this Redskins hat for a customer.  

Knitted striped toddler pixie hat - Redskins colors

Well I'm definitely not a football fan so it wasn't until my daughter asked why I was knitting a Redskins baby hat? Something looked familiar to me when I picked out those colors of yarn when I was in New York a couple weeks ago and needed to start another project as I forgot to bring one from home! It finally came to me the other day that it was the same colors I had used for the Redskins sign I had made at work a while back. Anyway, even if you're not a fan ... I think the colors go very well together ... it's a burgundy with a gold/deep mustard. So here it is. I just listed it in my BitsOfFiber shop on Etsy so if you're interested go visit my shop. Thanks for visiting my blog.

More Christmas stuff for the Christmas Market and Etsy Shop!

The pixie/Christmassy hat I knitted with an acrylic yarn so it can be tossed in the washing machine and the dryer.

The little owl I needle felted with sheep's fleece and Alpaca fleece. They are both in my Etsy Shop so check it out if you like to see more pictures of the hat and the Owl.

I'm bummed ... yesterday I cut one of my fingers at work with the exacto knife. It's pretty deep and hurts when I bump into things. We wrapped it up pretty good and used a butterfly tape on it so I didn't need to get stitches. It's so darn inconvenient especially since I'm trying to make all these things for the coming markets. At least it's on my left hand, it could have been worse if it had been my right one. I can still knit ... although a heck of a lot slower then normal and the fuzz of the yarn gets stuck on the tape! I can felt, halelujah! Only thing I totally can not do right now is crochet, maybe in a couple of days when I can put a regular bandage on it I can manage. Anyway, typing is alright except when I have to type certain letters since it's my pointing finger that's got the booboo. Alright enough feeling sorry for myself ... my finger is starting to hurt so I'll stop for now.
