I’m on my third one of these Messy Bun Hats. My sister saw the pattern online and hinted that she wanted one. I decided to make one for her and my niece. It was a happy surprise that after I made the first hat I still have half a ball of yarn. I’ve decided instead of making a hat for myself I’m going to make two additional hats and sell them.

I’m using the yarn they called for in the pattern called Unforgettable. I think it’s a lovely yarn especially for an acrylic yarn. It’s a soft and luminescent roving.

Wow time is really flying by and I’m getting behind on my blogging. I freely admit that I miss the days when I wasn’t working and I had time to blog every few days. Everything that I enjoy doing feels like a squeeze in – a squeeze in around all the stuff I have to do. I’m grateful for my wonderful life but sometimes I wish it was simpler. Okay on with the knitting.

I completed the baby blanket a few weeks ago. It’s pretty and surprisingly soft. I didn’t think the yarn would be so lovely and it washed up well. I have a third of a ball left. I don’t know what I’ll make with it yet. Maybe a wee teddy bear. Anyway here’s the finished blanket.
