Cute hat, cute book!

Look at this adorable baby hat that Cindy knit! The pattern is named Sheep Hat, of course, and is designed by Renee Lorion in the book 60 Quick Baby Knits: Blankets, Booties, Sweaters & More in Cascade 220 Superwash.

If you have a new baby to knit for, you will find lots of great patterns and gift ideas in this book from Cascade Yarns.

Crochet!

So, what has the Twisted Yarns gang been up to recently? Crocheting! One of our staff was due to become a first time grandmother in March and since she and the expectant mom both were crocheters, it seemed only right that the new baby boy should have a crocheted blanket. The skills of the staff ranged from experienced to newbie, but all learned to crochet a simple granny square pattern and made squares for the blanket.

Later, everyone got together to help sew the squares together! Getting together for a knitting or crocheting "bee" is fun and a great way to make a gift for a special occasion.
