FINISHED IN TIME FOR SPRING!!!!!


I have been working on this hats since January and finally finished 
them in time for spring.
Both hats are made with a lovely light aqua blue silk and wool blend
by Louisa Harding.  
I added a chocolate brown alpalca silk to the Watchman's cap.  The combination of these yarns made this hat incredibly soft.  
For the beret type hat, I added a purple muti colored Mohair/Rayon 
mix and this too was extremely soft.  I really enjoyed mixing these
yarns to come up with a new color palate for my knitting! 

This is my son, Ryan wearing the Watchman's cap.  He did go up
to Lake Tahoe, but it was too hot to wear the cap.  Well, maybe 
next year!
My daughter, Shannon, and her favorite friend, Bellaluna,
is wearing the beret like hat that was made in a seed stitch.
I suppose now I need to make a cap for Bella.
