You can't see me....

Some time ago.... and when I say some... I mean a big some...LOL, a girlfriend of mine emailed me looking for a couple gifts for 2 of her pregnant co-workers... they were having boys!

I'm always a little stuck for boys...I know, bad me... it's hard to not spend most of my time making little girl stuff...since as you know I have a girl! ...lends itself naturally to having an in-house model and fit-tester!

Anyway J wanted a camo hat for each of the babies...and little mitties "if I had time". Since I love making tiny little newborn things and I didn't have a little newborn mitty in my repitoire I was totally excited to get this project done.

So, here's the result... sweet little camo hats with thumbless mitties... attached of course by a nice tightly crocheted string. I ususally call it a dummy string.... definitely got to think of something nicer to call it!!!


I've got lots of projects in the works... some that I'm waiting to have fit tested.... a sweet hat I finished for a custom order, the hooded mommy wrap that is a beautiful work in progress! ...I'll be posting those as soon as I can...

My time is divided as I'm working on a project for my husband... setting him up with an ETSY shop... he makes gorgeous pens...fantastic for gifts... graduations, bankers, lawyers, Father's day, Mothers day.... any other occasion you could think of! They're totally unique and extremely stylish! ...I've got 4 posted in his etsy shop and working on getting the other pics ready... check out what we've got so far!!!

Both moms-to-be LOVED the ensemble by the way! Their husbands did too, they were happy to see something for a boy that wasn't baby blue. So Thank You for making them up for me, and putting the mittens on a string was a great idea.

I don't have a better name for the string either...we call it an "idiot string". :)
