About Needlecrafts: Let it Snow?

If you can't see this email, click here

Needlecrafts From Connie Barwick, your About Needlecrafts Editor Many of us were snuggling in feeling the affects of early chill and snow this past week. I myself did not see snowflakes (other than my cat Snowflake), but I did feel the chill. It turned my usually aloof Lhasa Apso into a cuddly lap dog. It was kind of nice to sit and stitch with a dog warming my lower extremities. Let it snow, I say! Let it snow! Snow Pants Once your kids are out of toddler sizes, snow pants are not only hard to find, they cost a small fortune. Kids out grow them or rip them in no time flat. Adults love to play in the snow too. Here's my alternative to breaking the bank and making play time warm and comfortable! See More About:  sewing for babies and children  free sewing projects and patterns  Snowflake Hat This super-cute Snowflake Hat is sized for kids from small newborn/large preemie up to 3-year-olds. It uses stranded knitting to work the snowflake onto the hat. This gives the interior a double layer of warmth, but it also tightens up your gauge a bit, so pay attention to the suggested sizes and measure your gauge to be sure you are knitting the right size for the head you want to fit - with my luck I'd end up with a hat that fit the dog instead of my DH if I weren't careful!
