Recent Custom Creations

I've done a few custom order in the last few month that I wanted to add here to the collection on my blog.

First here is a custom hat based on The Penny.  The patron wanted it to be gray and light pink (the same colors used in The Madison) as well as taking off the leaves.





















Then, my friend Marcy asked me to make this hat, two of them in fact.  She sent me a screen shot of her pin.  So I just wrote my own pattern.  Here is Josh, my reluctant model.  


I will be adding this to the shop after I get good shots of it.   













Then I had an order for a blue version of my Rutgers Little Fan hat, which looks to me like a Giants hat, or maybe Captain America (since I live in Eagles country and so does the recipient).
  
 After that I had an order for two Gingerbread Man hats, with the addition of a pair of baby legs.  This is the first set of baby leg warmers I've made.  I read a tutorial pattern and I adapted it to what I needed,  of course now I can't find the tutorial I used, so my apologies for not being able to link that.

Finally, my husband co-worker had a special request.  His son was outgrowing his favorite hat.  He asked if I could make a replica and sent me this picture.        


How did I do?

The funny thing is I wasn't sure what animal this was while I was working on it,  I though raccoon, but then I thought the colors were wrong so maybe it was a fox, heck maybe it was some weird animal I don't even know.  My husband confirmed upon deliver that it was indeed a raccoon,  I think I will make a gray, black, and white one for the next shop photoshoot.

Works In Progress: Hurricane Edition

Just wanted to let you all in on what's in the works. 
  • A giveaway using rafflecopter! Hoping this will be up in the next week.  I need to get a good picture of the giveaway hat. 
  • I just finished posting a listing for my Rutgers Inspired Little Fans Earflap Hat, but I should really list the girls version as well, but I don't yet have a picture of the beautful little owner wearing it, but here it is. Black, red, and white are such an awesome combo!

  • Here's another variation of that hat which I have yet to list because I am hoping for some pictures from the owner. Introducing, the Lulu!
  • Oh and another. Here's The Kaylynn!
  • And this cute little headband

  • I'll be doing a Yarn Review post focusing on best uses for different brands
  • Since I had some extra time off this week I created (that means I used no patterns) these two hats for Erma's Inspirations holiday collection.  They aren't listed yet because I don't have GREAT pictures.  I am going to make a traditional rednosed reindeer as well and a girlier penguin--think eyelases and maybe some purple or pink bows.  There will also be a gingerbread man.  Any other suggestions?
