Pattern:  Regina
Yarn:  Woolen Rabbit WW Kashmir
Colorway:  Chimney Sweep
Needles:  US 6 and US 8

Courtney really loved the Regina hat that I made for Ashley for Christmas, so she asked if I would make her one in a dark grey color.  She wanted a hat to wear to some of her more dressy occasions at college.  This is a pattern that I really enjoyed knitting, so I was happy to do this for her.

The weather has been incredibly mild for January, so I grabbed my camera and we went outside for a little photo shoot.  When Courtney was a little girl, we used to do the "Lets see you make a __________ face. (insert the word,ie;scary, sad,happy, etc)

So as I was taking the pictures, I said…let's see you make a serious smoldering face……well, she held it for all of 2 seconds before she dissolved into a fit of laughter….

I guess happy face Courney is what she does and always has best. πŸ™‚
Thanks Courtney!

On another note, I have read on various blogs where people are finding "their" word/words that they hope will embody the new year.  I am going to have to think on this one a bit and see what I can come up with….hmmmm.
How about you….do you have a word that you are thinking about?

  1. Love it! It looks great on her too!
    I do have a word – I need one to be sure – something good to focus on when I’m feeling over-stressed. Which was a lot in 2011!

  2. I think my word will either be FEARLESS or NOW! There is something very engaging about the idea of a word for the year. You haven’t told us yours. Jo

  3. With so many words to choose from, why choose just one?
    ; )
    Love the hat. I wonder if any of my girls would wear one. It’s so cool, I might just knit one, anyway.

  6. Funny, I am supposed to be doing a scrapbook for 2012, never have done one yet and have to have a word for each month and a word for the year, and I think my word for 2012 (a wee bit late in the game now since its almost February!) is sing.
