The baby's hat was created using Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino yarn in White; US# 6, 16" circular needles. This was a very fast project. I think this would look great in two colors or variegated yarn.Welcome To Mom's Knitting Room
Welcome to my blog page. My site will update from time to time. You may on occasion see items rearranged or removed. So don't think you're going "crazy". I am still learning to navigate within the blog world. My knitting experiences have been very slight. I have only been knitting about four years. Learning the "ropes" and "ins and outs" of knitting from my mom who has been knitting for over 50 years. I have had the privilege of having many talented women and men teach me their "tricks of the trade". They have been generous and patient with me as I learn this craft. You might wonder why its taken so long for me to catch the "bug" of knitting, but until recently it occurred to me that this long lived art would die with my mom as she is the only one of three siblings who can knit and crochet. So in order to keep the tradition alive and hopefully pass this on to future generations in our family, I ventured out on this new journey and chapter in my life. There are many knitters out there so willing to help "newbies" along this expedition of knitting. Along the way, I have been able to impart some new techniques, skills and information to my 80 year old mom. I've been able to introduce her to fabulous fibers as well. . . . . Who said "you can't teach an old dog new tricks?!"

Baby Ruffle Hat
The baby's hat was created using Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino yarn in White; US# 6, 16" circular needles. This was a very fast project. I think this would look great in two colors or variegated yarn.Stitch Therapy Brooklyn "Test" Hat (NOT)
This hat was supposed to be a 'test knitting' hat for the owner of Stitch Therapy Brooklyn. Unfortunately I got so into the rhythm
of knitting the ribbing that I totally forgot to do the alternate row so that the pattern would be created. Ah well, it still turned out lovely. I used Lang's Silkdream (combination of wool and silk) in two different colors, using US#6 circular needle. This was my first time incorporating another color into the mix. I was always afraid to add color for fear of my not adding it correctly. As you can seem, it turned out rather nice. I gave this hat to my brother --
I hope I didn't disappoint STB's (Stitch Therapy Brooklyn) owner too much. . .
