Knitting Marilyn's Hat... 

This was a prototype of The Wizard's Cap from Melanie Falick's book, Kids Knitting. I made it out of acrylic in whatever colors I had. These colors are actually the exact same colors as the favorite teddy bear I've had since I was born. :-) I made another of these wizard's caps out of a wonderful cashmere and then gave it to my nephew, but I think they lost it. It was lovely hand-dyed in deep blues, violets and earthtones. Unfortunately, I don't have a photo of it. I think I'll make another of these for The Baby. 

I knit these mittens two winters ago as a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law. I'd love to make another pair, but I would make them with a different kind of yarn. These were made with Lion Homespun and are not very warm. They are pretty though, aren't they?
