Top Secret...not really!

Usually when I show something on the needles, it is to show a secret sneak peek.  But this time I want you all to know due to popular demand, I am working on the baby bear hat in expanded sizing...I've sent the sizing to a few of you individually already, but I'm going to put it on the site so everyone can see... coming soon!!!


Also...If you notice the DPNs...I am planning to add instructions for both flat and in the round for the expanded sizing--plus, added directions for a circularly knit hat on the original pattern too...stay tuned, more to come!!!

Android Anyone?

Just got this little guy off the needles, the Android robot!  His eyes are some flat little black buttons found at the fabric store.  I had to be especially neat and careful when doing the finish work on this one...it really made all the difference to get everything looking just right.

Here's the pattern on Ravelry:

PS If knitting this for a young child, be sure to stitch on eyes instead of buttons.
