Year of the Dragon!

As many of you know, this week marked the start of the Year of Dragon.  In honour of this celebration, as well as my own magnetism towards dragons, I decided we'd make a dragon hat for the little man.  Also featured in this photo shoot, my beloved Puff who was my childhood companion (and I suppose will now be Henry's best friend too).

I crocheted this hat, once again using Vanna's Choice yarn which is nice and washable and doesn't felt.  I made the pattern up on the fly, I really ought to write these things down, but I'm pretty sure I could recreate it.

At first I was worried that the ridge wouldn't stand up on this hat, but as you can see, that was no concern after all:

Daddy making him smile:

Best buds already!

Oh, hi Puff, where did you get that wicked bandana?

Ok mom, I'm done!

In other news, I am in the process of building some stock so that I can reopen my Etsy store, so stay tuned for that!  I will make an announcement when it's ready to go.

Happy New Year! Guten Rutsch!

Happy New Year Everyone!

I just threw this hat together quickly as the occasion called for a theme hat.  

Henry as the New Years Baby:

 He looks a little like he's scheming something in this first one.

 Why are you taking my picture when I'm all naked Mom?

Thanks to Auntie Chrissy for helping with the pose!

Here's to 2012, may it be as wonderful as 2011!
