A Warm Place Recycled

When Shannon was pregnant with Emil she had this vision of a little pod style bunting as a photo prop.  Together we researched different pattern books and she decided on a couple that she liked.  Then I began the seach for yarn, and in my usual (often rediculous, I know, but that's a whole other post in itself) fashion, chose a blend of some pretty spendy natural merino and alpaca.  Blues and shades of tan/brown.  I also had some hand spun, wildly artistic yarn in my stash from years ago (complete with long curly sheep tendrils) that I used for the border.  And this is what we got:

 

                                        

 

But in real life, Shannon preferred the organic cotton pods that were more washable.  This little spendy pod got very little use. But more importantly there was a project full of the softest yarn ever! So while I stayed with them last month I took the opportunity to frog the pod (that sounds like a dance move) and recycle the yarn into this little hat:

I knitted it from a free raverly download called The Aviatrix.  The pattern was a bit confusing at the beginning, but once established it went fairly quickly.

Coziness, relived.  It's a little big but should last the winter.

Creatively talented. I can feel the softness from here.
