Candid Brownie
Sunday, January 17, 2010 at 3:21PM Wow - already we've raised several hundred dollars through the sale of my patterns (£161 to be precise) in just 24 hours - thank you all so much! I wonder how high the total will be come the end of January?!
Tom took these photos this morning whilst I slept (my meds are causing me to sleep and then some). It's design no.9 for Twisted Woolly Toppers, named 'Brownie'.
Some sideways cables, a little bit of bias, a hint of ear-flaps and a touch of pixie = super cute!
There will be some adult sizes too, but only to the limit of the skein - an extra large size will need more than a single skein of Cascade 220, and you know I can't break my one skein rule.
Design no.10, the final Hat, is being a nuisance. There it was, all mapped out in my head, and now it's not behaving itself on the needles. Thankfully, there are plenty of designs in reserve, so I'll be swatching again today.

WOW LOVE THIS!!!

Aran is way cute.
Love this! Hope you manage to beat No. 10 into submission soon.
Great hat! And such a lovely model :-)
This really is very beautiful, just love it!
This is adorable and the fit is just right! Love it!
I'm so glad you wrote that there would be adult sizes too. :) Otherwise I'd have had to beg!! What a dear hat! And such a beautiful boy wearing it. Get better soon! That's an order!
I love this one! Can't wait for the pattern!
So lovely - I can't wait to make this one!
Such a clever design! Wonderful!
That is adorable! Love it.
I adore this pattern! Looks like I'll be getting another of your books! =)
I just purchased the Wee Woolly Toppers yesterday. All of those patterns are wonderful! And my son loves looking at the pdf with me. He's almost 3...everytime he sees Aran...he points and says Baby! So we are both immensely enjpying the patterns. hehe. I had him point to which hat he likes best and he chose Doodie so that will be my first project. (Hopefully he was choosing the hat and not the pic of Aran hehe) I will be upsizing it...I'm going to try using bigger wool (worsted probably) for my first attempt. I'm dying to cast on but am too brain dead to think too hard this late at night! We are hoping to have another child so if it's too small it can just go in the baby knits box! Wish me luck =)
PS I think it is wonderful of you to be donating some of your profits to Doctors without Borders!
That's it - the one that convinced me I cannot knit another hat until you publish this book - wow! SO CUTE!
Wow, that hat is stunning, I love it. Aran is such the perfect model for you.x.
Cor blimey. Every time I think 'surely I don't need to buy another hat pattern' you go and design something amazing like this and I am just in awe of your creative powers. I can't wait for this book to appear!
