Big thanks to Katherine who jumped through hoops to post this image for me.I am calling the hat pattern THE TWO KATHs hat. I made the little baby stocking cap out of leftover Madeline tosh on size 8s.

I cast on 52 stitches
Ribbed a bit, about an inch
Then knit stockinette the for a few inches
Then I stirred in some fair isle in navy
Knit stockinette a bit more

Knit some navy stockinette then
Finished with all the baby blue
Except I kept enough for the tassel,

I began the decreases just before I ran out of the main baby blue color

I knit 7 then knit 2 together around
Then I knit stockinette for a short inch

Did the same exact decrease again, knit 7 then k2together
Then knit stockinet the for a short inch

Did the same decrease again

When I had about 12 stitches left I pulled the end through
Attatched a tassel and called it finished

Let me know if you care to knit one up for a little one!

Every Once in a While I Might Post

 Is that vague enough for you?  It has been a too busy complicated Spring.  I had no energy to blog.  All is well now, so I can share some things with you:   1. When I shoot photos of the moon I think of Dear Teresa.  Gone too soon. She took fabulous moon pictures.  2. I did not see one shooting star last night.  I only got up for a few moments around 3 a.m.  The local weather guy said he saw a few quick faint ones.   3. How can I can have one grown child in Oklahoma under flood watch, and One Child in Mexico under hurricane watch?  On the same day.  Tis true.  4. What have I knitted lately?  I am pretty sure I've ripped more than I've knit.  I ripped out a shawl that I was making up.  It was cotton and pretty.  I need to follow a pattern.  5. I was trying to make socks and decided to make mittens instead.  I haven't worked a thumb in a long time.  I may have to frog it too.  So I ha...

Dear buddy nurse and spay neuter pal Linda, came to visit yesterday.  We knitted. We laughed.  We shared books we are reading. She Showed me her scarf.  It looks like a shawl but it is a scarf. Here is her yarn choice. And the( OUCH) price.   It makes her happy to knit.  If Linda's happy I'm happy.  I dont' know the pattern and neither does she.  Her dog literally shredded her pattern.  She was at a point where she had memorized the easy part and she's nearly finished.  So there you go, anyone know the pattern? You are all so sweet about the move and the house. This morning I got my cuppa joe and headed to the porch to write you.  In the distance, my nearest neighbor, whom I can see through some trees.... well one of their teens came out, stretched, peed on their lawn casually, and then laid in his hammock for 5 minutes.  I'm sure he's not the first boy to do this.  I'm not even sure he's the...
