I had decided some time ago that I wanted to make a "girly" knit hat for a second cousins new baby--searched for awhile for a pattern--and today decided on Debbie Bliss from Chamarino 2. Takes one ball of yarn, but two colors--so two balls of yarn--$17.00 plus tax. Then I had to buy the book--$18.00. And of course I found some Trecking xxl sock yarn (2 great man colors)--another $34.00. Then there was the heel toe reinforcing yarn--$9.00 more. And the tax.
So to make baby hat---$85.00 out the door...Hand knit cashmere blend hat at any age---priceless.
