More FOs

Here are a few more items that I finished knitting recently. The purple and white dog-bone pillow was a "holiday" gift... it didn't get done until January, but that sometimes happens :) The white side is the last of the Irish yarn. The purple stripes happened thanks to my inability to decide between the two shades of purple. The whole thing was felted then stuffed to make it into a pillow.Just before Xmas, I had some leftover yarn and an idea. Thus, I created from scratch a little holder for all those cards sitting in my purse. I was rather excited that I was able to envision such a thing, and several hours later I turned a little ball of yarn (plus a square of velcro) into my vision.
Finally, I just finished this hat for myself which I also started before Xmas. It's made of hand-dyed Mohair from Lonesome Stone. I love the colors! Now I have enough yarn left over to make two more of these hats... or something else, ideas?
This blog makes it look like I've been a knitting machine lately. However, I simply stopped posting any finished objects after August. These things were worked on over the past several months and they are relatively small items.

Baby stuff

Congrats to my friends in Bakersfield who's baby girl was born on Sunday! She looks very peaceful in the photo I received which hopefully means that the transition from the womb to the outside world wasn't too rough. Above are the hat and booties that I made for her, but the hat is probably too small for an 8-lb baby. Here's the pattern for the booties http://www.bevscountrycottage.com/beths-booties.html. For the hat, I just followed Katie's instructions, thanks!.

Skull cap

Where, oh where, to find something about the size of a small head, on which to stretch a newly-knitted baby hat....
