Tops 'N' Toes
Yes, actual "handcrafted" content. First, the lovely Mock Cable Baby Hats I made for my husband's friend's first baby. ![](https://www.angelfire.com/planet/hayshandcrafted/100_3992.jpg)
The purple one is made from Mission Falls 1824 wool (100% merino superwash), color #023 Amythest, and the green is Debbie Bliss cashmerino aran, color #300501 (no name given, but a lovely sage). Whipped these up in no time.
