chantelle hat
~ chantelle hat ~
I’ve been having so much fun writing, testing recipes and working on illustrations for my tea book. Other than that, I’ve been knitting and crocheting like crazy! And now that there’s (finally!) snow in this Mississippi river valley town, the urge to snuggle in under a quilt by the fire and play with piles of yarn is very strong. Knitting/crocheting along with bread baking and soup making…while watching old movies…and every once in awhile…the muffled sound of church bells serenade me…Pure bliss! What are your favorite hibernating rituals?
I made and named this hat for my friend Chantelle. Her favorite color is purple. This was a simple little hat to make and crocheted up in about 2 hours. I made a “Boy Beanie” using THIS PATTERN and just added a picot edge! Love this little pattern. Tried and true and (so far) loved by all…which reminds me…I promised my friend Jeremy C. another hat 🙂
Feeling so inspired and creative these days! Well, it’s time for me to get ready to go over to my friend Clare’s quilting studio for dinner (homemade mac & cheese!) and another “Creativity Night.” We’re working on our wooly quilts. Photos coming soon!
What projects/crafts have you been working on?

Oh.
How precious. What a doll.
If I looked that cute, I’d wear one every day of my life.
Pure love.
Thanks Carrie 🙂 she looks good in everything. It’s true. hee hee. xoxo
What a nice hat. I like the edging. I can see why purple is Chantelle’s favorite color – it looks very pretty on her. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Lisa! Thanks so much for commenting 🙂 That’s my daughter, Gracie, in the photo modeling the hat. Sending the hat off to my friend this week. xoxo
LOVE this – and of course your Gracie is so precious as a model!! Chantelle is going to love it I’m sure!! Beautiful, and to have a friend make it for you is 100% more special!!
Thanks Kimber! Also…this reminds me…we have to make a tea date. I have a painting here (that I still haven’t sent) for YOU! 🙂 Nope. I didn’t forget. LOL
LOVE IT! I’m so honored that you named this after me! Perfect color and style….and I hope I look half as gorgeous in it as Miss Gracie does.
Glad you like it! YAY! 🙂 xoxo
