First came my second baby blanket. Being a Jayhawk starts at birth. So a blanket like this seems perfect for a new baby Jay.
If you remember the last (and first ever) baby blanket I made, you might notice how much simpler this pattern was. Stripes. Straight stockinette. This blanket took no time and made me feel like I was really accomplishing something because I could see the results so quickly. I can't wait to see the little baby Jay covered in her crimson and blue blankie.
Then via facebook, P asked someone to help make a Halloween costume. Feeling all crafty and capable with knitting needles, I jumped at the chance. (Sorry I beat you to it, Harley.) The task was to replicate a very homemade-looking hat that a favorite character on "Firefly" wore. His mama made him a warm hat complete with pompom and earflaps.
Upon seeing this hat, one friend proclaimed, "It's candy corn!" Well, yes, I guess I can see that. But I also think it's a pretty good replica of Jayne's hat. I hope N & P think so, too.

OK, color me impressed...I have always wanted to learn to knit.
I heart Firefly. Your friends have good taste in television. And in hats. ;-)
Cunning!
Cunning is right. It's probably all to the good that you beat me to it. My yarn time is severely curtailed these days. For some reason...
I am relieved to report that the hat arrived in time for Halloween and fits the head for which it was intended. Phew!
