Custom Orders!

Hi everyone. I have been so busy knitting new hats and completing orders. Thanks so much for taking part in the coupon sale I offered in October!

I'll be posting more hats over the next few days, but I wanted to talk a bit about custom knits.

I love custom knits, it allows me to be creative and figure out a way to make you happy. I especially love it when people who don't know me, or what I am capable of knitting, email me and say... "Can you knit me ..." I usually say, "Yes I can!"

I just finished knitting a pair of custom hats for a new mom of darling twin girls! She said, "Can you make me hats that look like cats?", and I said "Yes I can!" What fun.

I love how the hats turned out and thought I would feature them here before the big focus turns to Christmas. I had big visions of Mary being cut and paste into 1 image, so she looked like twins. That didn't end up working out, but I love the photos we managed to get.
These hats would have been great for Halloween, but they'll be cute all winter too. The brown version shows what the hat would look like without earflaps, but I added earflaps and ties to both help them stay put and keep the girls ears warm.

These hats are available for purchase right now on the etsy site: melissabearknits.etsy.com
