Earflap Hat with Mochi Plus

I know Gma Laurie I haven't put anything new up for awhile. Here's Lisa Jorgenson's latest project. She is writing the original pattern for all to buy at The Purl District. It is knit from Crystal Palace Mochi Plus worsted in what I call "Eugene" colorway. It's really called radiant rainbow. Very cool earflap hat.Lisa has fitted it to the face and forehead very well so it envelops your face. It has ridges at the top an I-cord from the crown with optional tassels or Pom Pom. Come in and check it out.

News from the Purl!

Howdee!

It's fall and the knitters are running rampant. TK and her gang have come up with another winner. Check out the naked sheep.com for the free cupcake hat pattern. It's a girly girl kid hat. Anyone make it for adults? We made it out of Plymouth's Cleckheaton pink DK AND CREAM PUNTA LAVA AND some fluffy Fizz from Crystal Palace. Use brown for chocolate and how about beading the top with bugle beads for sprinkles. A Cherry is a red felted ball...Beyond cuteness. I'll put a pic up soon.
