In October, Matt and I went to a bed and breakfast in Guthrie and he graciously accompanied me to a yarn store where he picked out some yarn for a beanie. I just now got around to making it for him last weekend. I have been putting it off for a while because I thought it would take forever, but it was only about a 4 hour total project. It turned out pretty good for my first real beanie. A few mistakes but probably only I can tell what they are :) I am already on to my second one to see if I can work out some of the bugs. Thanks Joanne for adding another grandma quality to my repertoire! You are my role model for craftiness!
In case you didnt know already, Matt's favorite color is yellow!
Matt always makes silly faces!
Lucy is modeling my practice beanie...it wasnt really that small, it just stayed on her head better that way!

Hey, I have a pattern that allows you to make hats without knitting in the round.. it's how I make hats because I always forget how to knit in the round.
Grandma Shannon you are too crafty for words :)
