 My Lucky Hat by Becky Beagell/Nomadic Knits #nomadicknits  Yarn: Olive & Two Ewe Studios, Homer base, Ecru & Bottle Green #oliventwoeweprojects  Cast On: Feb 28, 2025 Cast Off March 2, 2025  Will add a green pom from Knitting Fever in Tree Sloth 

 Lisa K. Ross/Paper Daisy Creations is one of my favorite designers and Emma's Yarn is some of my favorite yarn.   Combine the 2 together with a kit from Emma's mothership aka Four Purls Yarn shop and the result is a pair of patterns in my queue.    A Taste of Brioche Hat (mittens are in my queue, but a few other projects are priority)... 

 Ex's and O's the Lonely Hearts Club 2023 hat pattern by Becky Beagell of Nomadic Knits #nomadicknits.  Yarn is from Olive & Two Ewe Studios #oliventwoeweprojects on Homer DK base in Bad Moon Rising & Candy Shards  Ex's & O's by Becky Beagell colorwork  Steele claiming the ELB and the hat Steele is not amused

 The De Novo Hat by Brooklyn Boy Knits/Louis Boria is the Knit Stars Yarniverse wardrobe basics KAL for Q4 2024.  Yarn is Fuzz Famly for Kraeo Big Brother Aran in Dirty Denim which is the Knit Stars colorway.  The pattern was easily memorized and made for an easy and relaxing knit.   It's a good candidate to adjust stitch count and yarn weight to make other sizes. 

Ok, so after I got done laughing over baby Vladi's head stuffed into his too small hat, I made a new hat in more of Santa Style and even added a pompom. He's got a little room to grow in this one!

Now since baby Vladimir's mama was on medical leave for what seems like the last half of her pregnancy, I sent her hats to fit everything from a 3 pound preemie to 6 pound preemie and then he ended up nearly full term and almost 8 pounds. A couple of months after his arrival, this was my first attempt at a hat for baby Vladi -- his mama said it would fit; other mamas in our group said it would be too small. I agree with the other mamas, but he's still a cutie!
