This gorgeous gal is the concertmistress of my orchestra. She made the mistake of admiring the hat I made for my niece: now she has to be seen in the one I made for her! Actually, she looks totally awesome in it I must say. It's a pleasure to make stuff for her, a privilege to conduct her and a delight to play with her. Maite is a grace to my blog and my life.
Now this wee mite is also a guitarist, but he doesn't know it yet. He's looking at his Dad. Every time he looks at his Dad he has a fit of giggles. Most of us have a similar reaction to his Dad, and we keep on playing guitar for the sheer pleasure of being his friends.
This happy kid was born at Christmastime, so I made him some warmies. I'm really excited about this technique I invented ( I think...at least, I've never seen it done before). It's just the same old Crochet Jacquard, but instead of weaving in the super-bulky 100% wool, I left it in floats on the inside of the work, then felted it.They're very warm and woolly on the inside, to protect this future guitarist's wee hands.

They look just as good inside out too.
Cute!
oh! ah! oh!!
it's possible you'll find a copycat made by me xDD
Isn't that called "thrumming?" Fantastic work!
maven: I call it "thrumming", but it isn't really. Bona Fide thrumming uses 3" wisps of roving which make a lining about an inch thick.
