You arrived in my inbox as a non-reply blogger so I am adding my reply in the comment section in hopes that you see it.<br />Of course I don't mind! In fact, I appreciate your tip! These particular hats went to babies in a African village, but I am asking around for yarn recommendations for ICU babies.<br />I hope you have Ranch Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08581852590008365006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907351225641788258.post-2678021729887910042015-08-01T09:50:22.046-06:002015-08-01T09:50:22.046-06:00That's super that you taught yourself to knit....That's super that you taught yourself to knit...well done.....love the colourful yarn.....my one concern is if it is suitable for a baby's soft skin?<br />Can you check with someone in ICU or someone who already does these that you are using suitable yarn before you do many more - hope you don't mind me mentioning this.<br />The weather in Northern Ireland is anything but 100 degrees.Joyce across the Pondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15265043471522130388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907351225641788258.post-82215622417027316842015-07-19T08:45:23.061-06:002015-07-19T08:45:23.061-06:00Does Aunt Char knit?

Some of my prize possessions are the things she made for others that have been given back to me. A special one is a tan sweater for a child that had a horse head on the back. Taylor and Drew both wore it.

I too wanted to learn to knit and because of Judy at Patchwork Times, getting me started at a quilting workshop many years ago, I can knit simple socks, cowls, and scarves. Hats are on my list to try soon. Keep it up and soon you will have a stash of yarn that will rival your fabric stash! lolDarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960683751935834250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5907351225641788258.post-6337712275171431572015-07-17T16:12:37.148-06:002015-07-17T16:12:37.148-06:00Very Good!

That will make the new moms happy. Love your colors and are those threads regular size?

I felt like I needed a third hand when I first started but you'll get it. I love those colorwork projects but they require more concentration than I think I can muster in my old age.

I remember when we tried to sell our house and these afghans were on beds. The realtor said "those look like grandma blankets." My husband said, "my wife is a grandma!" Now I quilt.

Fair Isle knitting is amazing, but handling all those different colors can be a bit overwhelming. <br /><br />Be careful, working with yarn (crocheting or knitting) is addictive.

When I taught myself to knit a few years ago, I bought a teach a child to knit book because the pictures were large and the words were simple. I started making dish clothes.
