adding to our family of hats

as the weather cools down my fingers crave once again for the crochet hook and the tender sweet yarns from the wooly lamb http://www.thewoolylamb.com/. i start these from the center with three-four stitches and work my way outward, deciding on the shape as i go along. someone might remember fedia's hat from last year in blue italian wool with the dr seuss accent at the
top - scroll down to may 25th to see. (he still loves it and has been wearing it these cool mornings and after the pool). hence i've been working on the girly ones. everything i make for sonia ends up selling before she gets a chance to wear it. this aqua one on the right went to fedia's friend mei. i cannot wait to get that picture. sonia is reluctantly modeling here. she happens to look serene, but i had to chase her before she ripped it off her head. the striped knitted sweater is paulina's brilliant present for sonia's birthday. it fits perfectly. and i think she is keeping the pink ribbon hat below.
