It is October. I haven’t done any really good knitting in a long, long time. I couldn’t take it any more and on Saturday, while at the anniversary party at Spun, I bought some Real! Wool! Yarn! and then on Sunday, I made this:

and it was deeply satisfying.
Can you believe that this is the first thing I have made for The Baby? He likes it as much as any baby likes a hat: not much. But he likes to chew on it and snuggle with it. I’ll take that :)
Pumpkin hats are ubiquitous, but how could I resist? There is A Baby in da house! I didn’t use a pattern – though I’m certain there are dozens of free ones out there – but I wrote down what I did, which I guess is a “pattern” and put it here for your enjoyment :)
Too cute!
Wow you knit that without a pattern?! That’s really good.
Hi there! I love your blog, family and attitude to life etc. :)
That is one really cute hat! Thanks for writing up the pattern and sharing it with us :)
I made your pumpkin hat for my grandbaby Bella. I love it!! Thanks for the pattern and great idea. It is so kind of talented people like you to share your work!
Do you recognize that this is high time to receive the business loans, which will realize your dreams.
