Baby Bonnet

Congratulations to our friends Ben and Colleen who just had baby Sierra this morning a little before 10!

In honor of the new little one, I finished off her baby bonnet last night--hopefully we will be able to meet her sometime this week!

From the front--look at those cute little tassels!

From the side--just a little look at more of the shape.

This one shows the color a little better!

I was able to use two skeins that had only been partially used up on making the add-on pieces for some baby viking hats I had made for children of family and friends last winter. Several years ago I used this same pattern for Dan's cousin's first daughter and only used white. It was very pretty, but I do like the combination of color on this one a lot. (sorry, did that one long before I had a blog).

The pattern is from my mom and grandma's old knitting book The Complete Book of Knitting by Elizabeth L. Mathieson.

Well now, this comment has nothing to do with knitting... just got your link from your Pioneer Woman comment. I did notice your husband's cowboy hat! And also had the chance to glimpse the artwork (was a ways behind you for 5 hours after all) and just had to say: Wow! That horse really is wonderful! Wish I had that talent!

Thank you so much Kim! I just posted a new post about our fun time in line and the security guards. It was a long wait, but still fun!
