fall favorites again

One of things that you wouldn’t see Dunedin without last Fall and Winter was this sweater vest my mother made for her. It comes complete with a hood to hide in. When she actually grows some hair she is going to be one of those kids who hides behind her bangs all the time. Also a hit are the spiffy tiger buttons. She can almost do them herself. She is also very proud to announce who made it for her.

I knit this hat for Dunes as my first real hat-knitting experiment last winter. It was an initial failure as it was supposed to be a panda bear hat. You see, I can’t really knit so somewhere along the way, it became a dog. The ears come in handy for covering cold ears (and skimpy hair growth). Now Griffin has been having fun with wearing it too so I may need to start on some other hat with all that extra free time I have laying around in knitting baskets.
