It ain't soakers, but what could be better for soakers than a cute matching hat?

Pam...i remember you were doing that jester hat last winter (?) how did it turn out?

I really love that leaf edge hat.
For the longest time I was obsessed with the Ann Norling fruit cap pattern and did tons of them. I'm rather bored with them now LOL..so the leaf edge hat might be my new staple baby gift ;) (Plus..Connor might like one ;) The fruit caps are rather girly IMO )

Good Memory, Carla!

I adapted the pattern a lil' bit and it came out like this:

I was practicing some embroidery on the name. Kid's name is Merrill.

cute!
oh...also...didnt you recently get the embellishment book by Nikky Epstein? I picked it up 2 weeks ago and have done nothing but leaf through it yet (been too busy actually knitting and havent gotten a project to an embellishment stage yet to try some new techniques)
Anyway how do you like the book? The ribbing section intrigues me!
