Anyway. On to the fun stuff.
My husband, Rob, had a co-worker that he liked, who's wife was having their second baby. I offered to give them a newborn pumpkin hat. I'm trying to expand my client list and get my name out there a bit more. I do more than newborn photography props!
They loved the pumpkin hat, and asked for four more, in NB and 3 month sizes!
First up is a red apple, in newborn size. This weighed in at 32gr. I used a nice, brownish red, instead of a bright red you often see for apple hats.
A newborn blueberry hat. I played with the top quite a bit. I wanted a bit more of a flappy look--if you look closely at the top of a blueberry, it's not flat. In the end, I went with a round of stitches picked up and then casted off. Weighed 58gr, in Shetland Chunky or Beehive Chunky...
A 3 month plum hat. I had the perfect plum colour, and Rob had the idea of a ridge down the side like you see on plums. Subtle, but effective. A seed stitch brim on this one, used up every inch of the yarn I had, 32gr.
A last, a green grape. I loved the green I had, and I added a grape leaf and curly cue vine! Total, 36gr. This is the same green I used for one of the Christmas tree hats!
All total, 158gr.
Yarn In: 16 153gr
Yarn Out: 158gr + 15 076gr = 15 234gr
Balance: 919 gr more brought IN than out
Costs: $378.91/365 days = $1.04/day
Okay, using Google Chrome was interesting. I don't like the way the blog looks; the font is way too small. However, when I went to load pictures, I could crtl + select and get more than one picture at a time. Mmmm.
