Post Christmas Whirlwind

Whew, what just happened?!?!  Where did Christmas go?  How did it become the end of the year so fast?!

I was busy making tons of Tractor Hats.  Who knew they would be so ridiculously popular?  I was able to make them by modifying Shilo Horsman's Tractor Applique.  You can see the blog here!  I actually crochet the tractor onto the hat because I detest having to sew parts on/together after I'm complete.  It's kind of like second sock syndrome...

Here are some of the newest tractor hats I've made.  All are in toddler size (2T - 19").

And a few new Flapper hats!  I still plan on putting a bright orange flower on the brown one!  Should be ready to mail by Monday  :)  These were all made with Plymouth Yarn's variations of Baby Alpaca Grande.  It's a super soft alpaca yarn.  Definitely a hand wash/dry purchase though.

My frustration with getting a shot wearing the hat showing!

And my project that I was able to finish just in time for Christmas, the Bean's Christmas Stocking!  I worked on this and the Peanut's stocking last year but only completed Peanut's Mickey Stocking.  I was thrilled to finally get this finished.
