Floral Morning Hat

A Stranded Knitting Hat Pattern 

I have been hanging on to this pattern for a while. I have been waiting for the cooler weather to post and publish it. We are at the first day of fall if you can believe it. In celebration here is Floral Morning Hat. 

If you have noticed I have been really inspired by flowers lately. They have been such a bright spot in my day with this crazy year. I designed this hat to have a long brim that you can fold over for extra warmth, or what I really like to do with this pattern is fold the brim up just on one side to give it a cloche look. 1920's anybody?

Prairie Winds Bag

 A Premium Crochet Pattern

The more I live in Kansas the more I love it. One thing that I have especially loved this year are the wild flowers. They have been so abundant this year. You can go down any road including the busy highways and just see them everywhere. There will be sunflowers, black eyed susans, cone flowers, iron weed, blue grass, queen anne's lace and many more.  This bag was inspired by all of that but especially the queen anne's lace after it blooms. 

This summer before school started my family and I went to the Konza Prairie Park outside of Manhattan KS. There are no trees, just miles and miles of hills, grasses and wild flowers. When you go have to bring a pack with you so you can have water as you go, and that trip really inspired me to create something that would be functional and beautiful and represent that hike. 

The Prairie winds bag is a great multi functional bag that can be used as a market bag tote, or you can pull the straps out and wear it as a pack for when you need to be hands free. The bag has a pattern of post stitches that form a floral motif in the center of the bag. Don't be to intimidated by the pattern, as long as you keep track of the stitch counts the pattern will fly off your hook.
