I decided to knit up a little earwarmer for Arden after the umpteenth time I decided it wasn’t worth the trouble of trying to wrangle a hat over her ponytail. Since her hair is long and it gets all gummy with food if it’s not put back, 90% of the time it’s up in a ponytail, {…Continue Reading}

I made this one size larger than the pattern was written, which involved a lot of figuring, so I’m really happy with how it turned out. Don’tcha just love the {…Continue Reading}
