Special Surprise Giveaway!!

I actually had planned on doing a different infant hat but due to it's popularity I decided to offer up my cute little creation...the Newborn Cable Hat. You can check out my post about it here and my Etsy shop here. It's my very first personal design I've ever made and so I'm very proud of it.

This beautiful cutie's picture was taken by my talented cousin Kassidy, she does photography professionally.  She does my kids' pictures and wow, they are the best pictures I have ever had! 

You can check out her blog here

Candy Corn Hat Giveaway!

Last Halloween, this was my best selling item.  There wasn't a lot of choices on Etsy, then, this year the Candy Corn Hat has exploded and there are many more options for people to buy.  I am okay with it, mainly because my shop has been closed the last few weeks due to having my tonsils out and I was in recovery mode... not exactly in the mood to be taking hat orders.

My original plan was to give away one of these cuties that I already had made up, but then as I thought about it today, I realized I didn't want to limit my readers that way.  So whoever wins this hat, you will get to choose between the sizes newborn through child (That includes all baby and toddler sizes as well).  This is NOT an adult hat.  But I will customize it to the size you need for your little one.

PS -- the great thing about the Candy Corn Hat, is that isn't just a Halloween thing... it's a FALL thing too :)

Men's Beanie Giveaway!

To celebrate the fact we have over a hundred likes on Facebook, AND to kick off the hat season, we will be doing some random giveaways all week!  Yay!

The first hat, is one of my (Cat's) new designs.  I have been wanting to put something together for men that looks manly, but fun.  I came up with this "raised stitch" design.  My husband totally feel in love with it and was heart broken when he found out that I hadn't made it for him!  So now I guess I am committed to making him one.

It's warm, covers the ears, and looks stylish... at least I think so!  (Then again, I am totally partial to the model here).

Fall is here again!

I can't believe it is already Fall! Time just slips away. It has almost been a year since we started this blog. Wow, can you believe it! So much has happened in the last year, there's just too much to even try to fit into a single blog post.

So anyway, welcome back to Fall! That time of year when the leaves are changing, Halloween decorations are being put up, and those winter clothes are being pulled out of the back of closets. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and then Christmas! I love this time of year, mostly because it means an end to super hot days, I live in a desert so 105 is very common during summer. It's so nice not to be living in a cave anymore. : ) So what's your favorite part of fall? What's your favorite Halloween decoration/costume/candy? 

Well here on The Worsted Crochet Blog we want to celebrate the coming of Halloween. We are doing, drum roll please...another giveaway!! Now this is so much fun! I love giveaways! And here is the Prize:

This is an original Monster hat. My husband drew the design and I created it as a hat. It was a fun joint effort. : ) 

Sure do love my cute model! Anyway, this is a Toddler size and it can be yours!
