Well, I must say that it's about time we had a little SUN around here! I had an excellent weekend, sitting in the sun, soaking up the rays and KNITTING!
With not only a baby girl grandbaby on the way, but also a baby boy great nephew (just call me Granty) I have had a great time buying and buying and buying, project after project after project to do! So, isn't it natural that I would set aside all of the new stuff and knit a little hat using some sock wool leftovers? lol

Basic Umbilical Cord Hat |
To make my hat, I combined two lovely patterns that I found at Raverly.com. The first was for an
umbilical cord hat and the second was for an
icord flower.

Tying the icord through the flower. |
I LOVED how this little hat turned out and I will definitely be adding some icord flowers to future projects. My Sister-in-law made a similar hat without the flower for her future grandbaby boy...she ran away with it before I got a picture (or spilt anything on it) and so I'll have to share some of her great knitting on a future blog!

And now...it's off to the back yard to finish of the weekend (and maybe another project) while basking in the sun!!
Happy Crafting!
