Two More Egg Hats


Turns out I wanted some egg hats as well. Purple and orange to represent our current favorite colors around here.


Some bonus Mayapple and Trillium coming up in the woods. So happy to see native plants out there after spending several hours yesterday cutting down invasive honeysuckle and autumn olive. There is a pair of barred owls hooting in the woods. Awesome!



Happy Spring!

Eggsy Hats

What does one give to a generous friend who has everything and eats a specific diet that includes no special “fun” foods? Especially since she delivered a few dozen cascarones for good times?




Well, turns out she also likes to eat eggs, and it is Easter, so egg hats it is!


Here’s to green eggs and fake ham! It looks like I don’t have egg cups, a big oversight… But that cute cordial glass is a pretty good stand in.


The pattern is Eggsy Hats by Rosemary Hill. I used the electric kettle to steam the fabric to block the knitting. I used some left over Malabrigo yarn from the Multnomah shawl I made about 10 years ago.


I packaged the hats in an old egg carton, covering some plastic eggs with the hats and adding some clementine treats.


 Happy Easter and Happy Spring holidays to you!
