A multi-purple sparkly ribbed brim hat for a baby girl and a rainbow pom-pom roll brim hat for a baby boy! These are going to be my final two hats for the 2018 CLICKforbabies campaign. The box is full, it's time to ship them out, and my boy/girl pile is even. Total count for this year is 64! ~ To learn more about the CLICKforbabies campaign and the period of PURPLE crying that all newborns go through, please visit www.clickforbabies.org #clickforbabies2018 #bykylelefort #charityknits #charityknitting #babyhats #purple #purplehats #ribbedbrimhats #loomknithats #loomknitting #hats #purplebabyhats #knittingadventures #clickforbabies #stripes #rainbowpompoms #rainbow #sparkly #sparklyyarn #rollbrimhats https://www.instagram.com/p/BnxZNOFlxez/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=u0koddiet8ox

Three more purple newborn hats. Ribbed brimmed with some rainbow variegated yarn mixed in. As far as purple baby hats go, they're pretty much gender neutral, but I'm short on boy friendly hats so that's the pile I'm adding these to. :) Total count right now is 62, and I'm hoping to finish a few more before shipping them out next week. ~ To learn more about the CLICKforbabies campaign and the period of PURPLE crying that all newborns go through, please visit www.clickforbabies.org #clickforbabies2018 #bykylelefort #charityknits #charityknitting #babyhats #purple #purplehats #ribbedbrimhats #loomknithats #loomknitting #hats #purplebabyhats #knittingadventures #clickforbabies #stripes #rainbow (at Pendleton, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bnrt07RFUax/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19x0joeqq9t03

Used up the last of the purple/gray yarn cake over the weekend, and finished four more purple hats for the CLICKforbabies campaign. My current hat count is 59, and the shipping box is almost full! I was counting the girl and boy pile and it looks like this batch put me accidentally ahead with the girl colors by one or two hats, but I still have some time to fix that. ~ To learn more about the CLICKforbabies campaign and the period of PURPLE crying that all newborns go through, please visit www.clickforbabies.org #clickforbabies2018 #bykylelefort #charityknits #charityknitting #babyhats #purple #purplehats #ribbedbrimhats #loomknithats #loomknitting #hats #purplebabyhats #knittingadventures #clickforbabies #stripes #rollbrimhats (at Pendleton, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnkQr75FtMY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4m83ba1cky32

Hats 54 and 55 for the CLICKforbabies campaign. Another pastel one. Same yarn as last time, but it's mini cable knitting instead of purl stitched rows this time. - And a sparkly plum colored hat with a little bit of an odd shape to it. Tall ribbed brim and I gather stitched a few rows lower to make a weird 'not pom-pom' thing on top. Still a pretty cute baby hat. ~ To learn more about the CLICKforbabies campaign and the period of PURPLE crying that all newborns go through, please visit www.clickforbabies.org #clickforbabies2018 #bykylelefort #charityknits #charityknitting #babyhats #purple #purplehats #ribbedbrimhats #loomknithats #loomknitting #hats #purplebabyhats #knittingadventures #clickforbabies #stripes #sparkly #sparklyyarn #plumpurple https://www.instagram.com/p/BncloEZFBt4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=rmdos847l1d3

More CLICKforbabies progress - There are only a couple of weeks left to go, and I have a few skeins + what's left of my road trip bag of yarn to try and get through, so this is one of probably several misc. batches. From the top, clockwise: Combined DK and worsted weight yarn to make a very pastel 'No roll, roll brim' hat, if that makes sense. Mixed together three colors off the purple/gray yarn cake to make a simple striped roll brim. And I also mixed some of the yarn cake with the last bit of the gray/purple varigated yarn to make a ribbed brim hat in 'boy friendly' purple. - I've lost track of my boy/girl ratio, but my total hat count right now is 53! Which is very good. ~ To learn more about the CLICKforbabies campaign and the period of PURPLE crying that all newborns go through, please visit www.clickforbabies.org #clickforbabies2018 #bykylelefort #charityknits #charityknitting #babyhats #purple #purplehats #ribbedbrimhats #loomknithats #loomknitting #hats #purplebabyhats #knittingadventures #clickforbabies #stripes https://www.instagram.com/p/BnUi1dsl2Oq/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oiy0cy3kt21b

A couple hats I've been trying to make time for before this year's deadline; Another cupcake hat, this time in " Boy friendly" shades of purple and other colors. And every time I start knitting a ribbed brim hat I think to myself that the stitich pattern sort of looks like a row of teeth and that maybe I could make a hat that sort of looks like a toothy little monster,...Well, I gave it a shot, and does look like a big eyed, toothy something. Oh, and the eyes are on the back too, so any baby wearing that hat will have eye on the back of their head. ^_^ BTW, these two hats put my count at 50.

I can't read in the car, but I can loom knit! Worked on a some projects during a couple of very long car rides this past week, mostly these six purple newborn hats for CLICKforbabies. Had a bunch of gray/purple varigated yarn, a multi-purple/gray yarn cake, and misc. purple left over from the welcome blanket, so I mixed all those together. Various shades of purple and some of the yarn made unpredictable patterns, but I think they turned out really well. All loom knit, simple roll brim hats. Half of them look like they're "boy friendly" shades of purple so my count should still be even there. Total hat count right now is 48 (Woo!) ~ To learn more about the CLICKforbabies campaign and the period of PURPLE crying that all newborns go through, please visit www.clickforbabies.org #clickforbabies2018 #bykylelefort #charityknits #charityknitting #babyhats #purple #purplehats #rollbrimhats #loomknithats #loomknitting #hats #purplebabyhats #knittingadventures #clickforbabies #selfstripingyarn #periodofpurplecrying #varigatedyarn #yarncakes #purple #gray #purpleandgray https://www.instagram.com/p/BnC0gImFuBT/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=77a7kps2a9yl
