I finished up some pumpkin hats on the way to the MP Military Ball in Heidelberg on Saturday. I made one for each of the four babies in my husband’s office. Yea… I know there are only three here. One was for the newest member who was just born at the end of August, so I took it to the hospital when we went to welcome him into the world. Hopefully I can get a picture of all of them together sporting their little punkin’ heads. This is the tried and true “Patrick’s Pumpkin” pattern from Fiber Trends.
Here’s a snapshot of Dan and I at the Ball. We clean up good, huh? lol. A good time was had by all. We usually get stuck at a table where we don’t know anyone. This year we knew everyone at our table and the next one over so we had… well….a ball. Sorry…. I couldn’t resist. Right now I’m playing around with felting some yarn from Elann which happens to be my favorite place to shop for all things fiber. I’ll share my experiment results within a couple of days.
The pumpkin hats are so cute. Welcome to the ROAK ring.
Those little hats are so adorable! What lucky little babies!

Cute, cute, cute hats!!!! They look so lovely against your centerpiece!!!
Those are the CUTEST thing! Somehow, though, I don’t think my 6-year-old son or 12-year-old daugther would appreciate them very much … 🙂
The hat’s are so great! You and Dan do clean up well, lol! Glad you had a good time.
The hats are so precious!! I was wondering what kind of yarn you made them with, I really like the sheen. Don’t suppose 51 year old husband would wear one either, but think I need to make one!
I just did the same hat this past week! I just love it, and I posted a photo of my Augie wearing it, on my blog. Great blog you have here, and I’m so pleased there is such an interest in knitting there on base! How nice it is to knit for pleasure in the military, vs. the old days of knitting sox for the guys. Pumpkin hats are much cuter! Welcome to RAOK!
