Another mother-daughter hat and a Kindness Tree

As mentioned, my youngest insisted that Mommy have a hat that matched hers, so we could be "twins", too!
Used the same yarn as for her hat (Sirdar Indie wool/acrylic blend, Shade 0152), but did a bamboo stitch in the round instead of a stockinette stitch on straight needles. She was pleased, and so was I!
Thanks also for all of you who offered advice in my post about my recent trials and tribulations with the girls. I am on it, and am sure this, too, shall pass! Parenting isn't for sissies, is it? To help with some positive parenting to combat this issue, I made a "Kindness Tree."
My youngest has one at her preschool- when someone is "caught" doing an unprompted kind deed for another, they get to decorate the tree. I had my son paint the trunk on some poster board and cut it out, then hot glued an assortment of leaves, birds, eggs, flowers from the dollar store to some thumb tacks.
The kids are really excited to work together to have the tree all filled up in time for spring, so it will be a great lesson in teamwork as well.
I guess I'll keep them!

As you can see I used clovers in the place of leaves on the tree....Happy St. Patty's Day!

Like mother, like daughter

Two peas in a pod!

Whipped up a hat for The Middle Child to match my hat and her scarf. Now my youngest wants Mommy to be "twins" with her, too! So, now I have started a hat for me in yarn to match her hat, too! I'm loving the knitting!

Hattitiude

I finished knitting my hat!


And this one actually fits ;)



I plan on resizing and making another in this pattern for my middle daughter now that I had my first go at knitting in the round. Fun! Bought myself a few more sizes of needles so I will certainly be at it again. I received the book Hattitude for Christmas, and it is full of all sorts of fun hat patterns for adults!

Here is the one I used for this hat...and mine actually even kind of looks like that! Success :-)
