Mia's Beautiful Butterfly hat...






















So Mias’s been bugging me about making her a hat. I have been so busy working on everyone else’s’ hats for Christmas that I have been neglecting my wonderful Mia’s plea’s. So I russell up a hat pattern and get to work. The pattern on the hat is called a “Butterfly” stitch and I have never done one before. I usually Google all the knitting terms that I am unfamiliar with or I will got to http://www.youtube.com/ and watch how someone else does things first. However, on this butterfly stitch I find nothing helpful. I did find some instructions but they were too complicated for my pea brain to comprehend. So I finally had to go to a knitting forum online and ask for help. I just love all the knowledge on the internet. You can find out all kinds of good things. Specifically Mia wanted a Lime Green Hat to match her lime green coat. I got the pattern, I got the yarn, and went to work. Mia would monitor my work every day asking “Is it done yet?” “Looks like your almost done mom, right?” My fingers actually hurt so bad on the third day but I finished it for her. So now she has her Lime Green Hat to match her Lime Green Coat and you know what? Now she wants a Lime Green Scarf! Ahhhh! oh and Bubba just had to model a slouchy hat for the camera. Isnt he so cute?
