Autumn has arrived!

I made my newest one a pumpkin hat for the season. It was a very simple pattern, except for the leaf, and it knitted up in one evening. My older boy loves it but it's too small for him and I think he looks a bit weird in something that looks so baby. I used this pattern:

I highly recommend it, extremely easy pattern with great results!

I used a chunky orange yarn with brown wool for the stem and green dishcloth cotton for the leaf.

Join me in a KAL!

I joined a bi-monthly knit-a-long (is that lame?), you should join me too! It's for dishcloths so it's easy, a great way to practice new techniques, great for gifts, and won't take up too much time. Their blog is
http://monthlydishclothkal.blogspot.com/ and then you have to join the Yahoo Group in order to see the patterns. They give out a few lines a day and after a week, voila!
