If it involves some kind of fibre chances are I've at least tried it. This blog follows my adventures in sewing, dying, weaving, spinning, knitting and the rest. The best way to learn is by doing, well actually from learning from other peoples' mistakes, but when that isn't available...
Please, learn from my escapades!

A Boobie Hat

Okay, so the running gag involves a woman breast feeding and someone else complaining about her being in public.  So apparently the boobie hat for baby is to bring attention to the completely natural act of breastfeeding and the fact that there's nothing wrong with it and nothing to be ashamed of either.  Anyways, I was asked to make a pattern for our charity group to knit.  Here it is:
