Matching Owl

I found this great pattern to make character ear warmers so I just HAD to try them out!  I made this one for my daughter, it's an owl ear warmer.  I'm going to make my son a Yoda one once I find the right color of green (my husband is a little picky on the color for it).  I LOVE THESE!  I think they are fun to add just a little touch if you don't want to wear a hat but you want something more than just an ear warmer for your kids (or yourself, even one to match your kids hat maybe).  Anyway, I can make a plain ear warmer and you can add a flower or get a fancy ear warmer, whatever you would like.  Just let me know more in the comments when checking out.

And I had to show you this hat.  I got my daughter a bed set for Christmas and then her grandma got her this pillow to match the bed set for her birthday so I had to make her a matching hat.  She loves it and I think it turned out great!  Do you have a stuffed animal that you want a matching hat for?  Send me a picture to my email and I'll let you know a price estimate.

Owl Beanies without the flaps

Want to know what the owl hat would look like without the earflaps?  Well, your wait is over!  Below are two of them.  I can't decide which eyes I like better, I LOVE the big eyes on these hats but I've had one or two tell me they like the smaller ones better.  Let me know what you like in the comments below.

Tiny Texture

I love all of the newsboy style hats, I just can't decide which I like best to be honest.  This one I made up for a little boy.  You still have the option of switching out the strap if you would like, I liked it in the same color.  You can match your favorite shoe and make a great baby gift for either a boy or a girl.  If you would rather have one button instead of two and have a flower, please let me know in the comments while checking out.  Hat can be made in any size, even for mom (you can match!) and any color.  Another option, instead of doing a strap or flower is to add a character button.  I was debating doing that with this one.  I think the monster buttons work great with this hat!

Dogs can be kids too

So my same amazing neighbor came to me the other day.  Her boss was having a dog shower since she didn't have kids and she wanted me to make her some doggy booties.  While looking around at ideas I found a collar that I thought was fun.  I think boots can be too messy if they go outside in them so I asked if a collar would be okay.  Anyway, she loved the idea and this is what I came up with.  It has 'spikes' and a skull in the center.  I hope her boss likes it!  This can also be made as a choker for people if you would like.  If you have anything else 'custom' that you want to ask me about, please email me at yarnandstring@hotmail.com

Boys and Shoes...

I decided to make all of the boy shoes so you can see them all side-by-side.  I made them all in the brown and yellow to go with the giraffe hat.  I don't have any of the sandals listed below but all of the other shoes are listed.  I will be creating a 'high-top' shoe in the future, I think that should do it for boy shoes but at least you can see the options.  I'm hoping to do this for the girls as well before the end of the year.  Anyway, from left I have the ankle boot, top middle is the crocs, right is  the loafer with one button and bottom middle is the loafer.  I only have one loafer option  listed to purchase but just list in the comments at checkout if you would like the one button instead.

Tiger

Remember the neighbor who asked for the black cat?  Well, her other daughter wanted a tiger after seeing the cat.  She also wanted the fur on the inner ear.  I just finished it, the mom LOVES it so I'm hoping her daughter feels the same.  I had fun with this one!  Comes in any size, you can have any color and without the ears if you want.  I'm going to make a zebra hat as well and you can order this hat under the zebra, just list in the comments in the order that you want the tiger instead of the zebra.

Black Cat

So one day I was next door delivering an order to my neighbor and her daughter was over.  She saw what I had made and asked for a simple black cat hat.  I have a really hard time with simple so I added an extra touch, FUR!  She LOVED it!!!  Before I gave it to her I was able to get my daughter to model it for me.  Isn't she the CUTEST!?!?!?!  Hat comes in any size, any color, you know the drill...
