My needles have been clicking away the past few days...two of hubby's co-workers are married and having a little girl in October, so of course he asked for some handknits to give them. No worries...I had a few ideas in mind.
First up, a bunny...I've made a few of these for baby showers, so this has become a go-to pattern for me. This time I dressed it up a bit by using some alpaca blend yarn. All this little guy needs is a tail. The yarn sheds a bit, but I couldn't resist the softness!!
Then I got thinking...what handknits did I love the most for the Diva when she was a baby? Of course the sweaters my Mom made were my favorites, but the one thing that got the most attention was a pumpkin hat that a neighbor made for her. She wore that thing for more than a year, and some of our favorite photos of her are in the hat. So I decided, October babies MUST have a pumpkin hat!
My goal is to design a hat for the bunny too, so this will be a matching set. If that doesn't work out, I'm not going to sweat it. I'm happy with both items just the way they are.

So, that's what I've been up to this week. Today is rainy and yucky outside, so we'll see what I can get done inside.
Cheers and Happy Crafting!
