School is getting ready to start. Tanner & Alia have grown enough that they needed new hats.

Alia's hat is a "Non-scratchy" acrylic--and it is yellow, her favorite color.

Tanner requested a turquoise hat and picked two balls of hand dyed, handspun wool for his hat. As I sketched various stripe options, he told me that the two yarns were to be used one after the other and woven together. It looks great! I love it when my children's artistic ideas work out!

Elena has requested a pink hat. She may or may not get it before snow flies. Unfortunately from her perspective, she is the youngest and smallest of the three kids and there may already be plenty of hats in her size!...But I may knit her one anyway!
