My Mom inspired me last week to create this beautiful C2C Hat and Scarf Set. This is the second hat, I’ve ever crocheted followed by a Sweet Deer-themed one I made one of my daughter’s for Halloween this year. I’m pleased with how it came out.
The yarn I used was on clearance at Michaels Arts and Crafts and it is called Impeccable “Falling Leaves”. It took a little less than 3 skeins to make both the scarf and the hat.
This week I blew the dust off my sewing machine. My goal in pulling it out was to make up a stash of masks. I wanted enough mask to have on hand for each member of the family to stash in a bag/purse, glove box, and to locate right away when needed.

This is my second knit Diagonal Comfort Blanket. The first I knit in an aqua/teal for my soon to be born baby girl. This blanket with the stripe color changes I made for a friend whom is due in late June. I am pretty tickled on how well the blanket came out. Finished the blanket is about 30×30. It took me about two months off an on of knitting. You can find the free pattern on Ravelry here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/diagonal-comfort-blanket
I’m knitting a few of these up for my baby girl! Less than five weeks and she should be here to start wearing them. I found the “Spring” Baby Headband by Amy Andersen pattern on Ravelery and love that it can be adjusted to a number of sizes.
I finished the one in these photos this week in pink and yellow and have already cast on for a pink and teal colored headband next. I figure a few general combinations will likely match all her Spring and Summer clothes!
