Please forgive all the phone pics coming up in this post.
Ok, so there are these cute kids I know and last year I made them hats for their birthdays.
See the cuteness in the hats? They loved them. (seriously)
But as kids are want to do, they grew.
So now I have made a deal with them (and their parents) to accommodate all that growing and still let them be the coolest kids at school with their awesome hats. That hat swap I mentioned a little while back? Yep, these hats inspired it. So the hat above
Was swapped for this new hat. Which I am told she loves!! :-) Yay!
And this little guy
Got swapped for this one. Wait, that isn't the kid, thats his dad. Yup, the dad stole the hat. How rude. But I guess its a compliment to me that he wanted his own.
So here is the dad's new hat that I made Ben model for a quick pic. He loved it so much that as soon as I texted the pic to them he drove over to pick it up. :-)
I mentioned this before, but the hats I get back through the hat swap are going to be staying with me. No resale there. I think its a great way to collect hand knits for my future kids and keep those things I worked so hard on from ending up who knows where.
I still have a long list of requested hats. If I haven't gotten to you yet, I'm sorry! Hopefully I can get a lot done this weekend. I have started carrying a notebook around to write down requests but also to outline new pattern ideas and things that pop into my head because the list of requests is long enough I might forget the ideas I had of things to make for my shop. :-)
And I really want to RAoK a few people this year, I just need to carve out the time.
