I made these hats for Bryn and Ari a couple of months ago, but this morning Bryn pulled out Ari's hat from the hat stand because it was so cold, and that reminded me that I hadn't finished off Bryn's hat yet... So, I did! Finished it off and got the obligatory photos to prove that I really AM a good little wifey and mother who knits (or in this instance, crochets) winter woolies for her kids - even though they generally only wear them once...


For some reason they LOVE to ASK for knitted/crocheted stuff, and then they are very excited to try the finished item on the FIRST time, and after that they have absolutely NO INTEREST in wearing the made-with-love (and, without being conceited, a certain amount of skill and good taste!) homemade item...
Ok, that's not wholly a fair assessment, Erik DID go to school in the beanie I knitted for him last Winter, but Luey certainly NEVER wears what I knit for him and Bryn rarely does after the first day...
But, anyhoo, they're lovely!


I have grand plans to knit Bryn some old-fashion gumboot socks, like the ones my Amma used to knit us kids in Iceland... Woolen socks to gather the cuffs of pants securely into inside gumboots - they offer a certain level of warm, comfort and moisture resistance as well... We'll see how that goes...
Ok, and mustn't forget the cute photo of Ari, having zonked out after a long evening of resisting sleep... Daddy's knee won out in the end...

Oh wow, those hats have turned out nice! I love the colours on Ari's and colourway on Bryn's! Are they your first crochet project? I remember you saying awhile ago you wanted to teach yourself.
Always love the sleepy-sprawly bubba shots, cuteie-patootie!
