February 07, 2005Button Headwarmer close-up Inspired by this headband from Girly Knit, I decided to knit an earwarmer for mini. It's getting a bit warmer, but her ears are still a tad cold, however they get too warm with whole hat and caboodle. So I present the compromise. There is still a lot more from this mag that I want to knit from my first mention. And I still see one of those headbands in mini's future along with a wrist band too. I'm thinking a few of these will make good use of some odd balls I have around here. Hmmm...must start working on my intarsia project. A little color changing would be a nice addition as well.  close-up Posted by froggy at February 7, 2005 07:30 AM Comments
Hey Froggy :P I love the simple knit with the buttons as embellishment. That is so cute and very girly! Mini looks happy with it, and adorable as always. I hope you had a fabulous weekend! Hope to hear from you soon. Posted by: Lolly at February 7, 2005 07:48 AMWhat a great idea- and it looks good, too. Especially on such a cute model. Posted by: Iris at February 7, 2005 07:49 AMSo, so cute! Way to go Mom. Mini looks so happy. Very stylin'. Posted by: Cara at February 7, 2005 08:06 AMStyling! I love those easy projects that looks so great when finished. And mini is adorable as always :-) Posted by: Shelby at February 7, 2005 08:08 AMGreat idea! Posted by: Tracy at February 7, 2005 08:08 AMWhat a great ear warmer!! Mini looks so beautiful in it - the color is perfect for her. I love the buttons, too. :) Posted by: Jackie at February 7, 2005 08:13 AMSo cute! Both the headwarmer AND the model! Posted by: Wendy at February 7, 2005 08:16 AMThat is just the cutest thing. My girl is all grown up, but she's always had a "thing" for button embellishments like that......I think she'd love one of these. Soon it will be too warm for her heavy winter hat....Hm......thanks for the great idea once again! Posted by: Norma at February 7, 2005 08:19 AMThat's really cute ! Posted by: Emma at February 7, 2005 08:24 AMDarling! I love buttons. Posted by: Michelle at February 7, 2005 08:30 AMFroggy the buttons are so fun - what a nice touch. Your Mini is so cute!

It looks great on her too :) Posted by: Vicki at February 7, 2005 09:45 AMMini looks so cute. I love the headwarmer. Even though it may be a bit too much lamb for a mutton like me, I may have to knit one for myself. That magazine is great. Posted by: Amy at February 7, 2005 10:52 AMabsolutely adorable!! Posted by: ricki at February 7, 2005 10:55 AMThat is just too adorable. And we missed you this weekend!

Posted by: Sophie at February 7, 2005 12:23 PMshe is adorable in it! and I have to agree with her, I like the top of my head covered but leaving the ears out in the open... that is a negative ghost rider, NEGATIVE :) Posted by: stinkerbell at February 7, 2005 12:24 PMI love it! Hmmm...I may have to copy! Posted by: Christie at February 7, 2005 12:34 PMYour mini is just entirely too cute! And I love the headband too. I've been inspired by her lovely glamour shots shots to make my mini the Molly bolero from Junior Knits. Keep up the great work! Posted by: stacey at February 7, 2005 12:51 PMLove it! I could use one of those myself... Posted by: Moni at February 7, 2005 01:01 PMI love it. So easy, yet so cute. Mini is adorable, per usual.

Posted by: mrspilkington at February 7, 2005 01:06 PMNice work froggy and mini is adorable! I love your version and button embellishments. Posted by: eyeleen at February 7, 2005 01:30 PMYour designs are always great to look at!!. Where do you get the magazine? I have been trying to find them for some time now. I nive in Central California and we have a serious shortage of materials here! Posted by: Angie at February 7, 2005 02:19 PMShe's just adorable and so is the headwarmer -- it's girly and edgy at the same time. Posted by: Brynne at February 7, 2005 04:31 PMMade for each other... What a cute accessory on an adorable little girl ! Posted by: Véronique at February 7, 2005 06:08 PMHey just passing by, nice headwarmer and everything... I love that kind of light pink. Happy knitting ! Alice Posted by: Alice at February 7, 2005 06:22 PMNot sure what's cuter - your Mini or the earwarmer. You've inspired me to do the button thang on a headband I'm planning on knitting... Posted by: Elizabeth at February 7, 2005 06:47 PMi love how you just get inspired and run with it. the headband looks great and so does your daughter. awwww :) Posted by: erika at February 7, 2005 08:18 PMAwww...so cute! I'll bet you went out on a limb picking PINK! What--no purple! Love it on Mini. Posted by: Silvia at February 7, 2005 08:30 PMHi ! The pink hat looks very nice on your daughter. What a clever idea to add buttons as emberllishment ! Happy Knitting ! Eva Posted by: Eva Shiu at February 7, 2005 08:45 PMThe best thing about the ear warmers is how Mini's hair can poke out behind it - she always has such cute pig tails. :) Posted by: Anne-Caroline at February 7, 2005 09:04 PMOMG! How cute is that precious little thing?! And she looks so adorable wearing that gorgeous headband/ear warmer! What a great idea! Posted by: Michele at February 7, 2005 09:32 PMWhat an adorable head warmer. Love the buttons. Very differnt & I love different! What a pretty little girl! :-) Posted by: Eilene at February 7, 2005 09:46 PMToo adorable! Posted by: Siow Chin at February 8, 2005 12:20 AMThat is such a cool idea. I spent time this weekend sorting through my button collection - now I know what I can do with some of them. Mini is quite the fashionista! Posted by: sally at February 8, 2005 02:46 AMHi Froggy, I just stopped by to say I got the Marie Claire Idees for winter that had that scarf I liked and saw at your blog. I have translated the pattern. I was wondering if you had done that yet. I would be happy to send it along to you if not. Let me know. Posted by: Elizabeth at February 8, 2005 10:42 AMsimple, yet chic...perfect for a stylin little girl! of course we love it too 'cause it's pink! Posted by: heather at February 8, 2005 11:24 AMWhat a cutie...and what a lucky bean she is to have such a cool, crafty mom! I want one too! Posted by: Niki at February 8, 2005 01:11 PMThat is absolutely adorable! I love how garter stitch looks on things for kids, and it's a nice alternative to rib. Stretchy, and cute. The buttons are a great detail. Very clever. I bet she gets tons of comments on her fab headwarmer when she wears it! Posted by: Becky at February 8, 2005 01:54 PMWHERE DO YOU GET THAT MAGAZINE FROM? and mini is quite gorgeous in it. I looked at the second picture without reading the entire post and originally thought that it was a hat with 'cut outs' in the back for her pony tails to fit through it (because I saw the mini puff on the side) Posted by: Nik at February 8, 2005 03:04 PMvery simple and chic. your mini looks great, as usual. Posted by: lynette at February 8, 2005 03:06 PMSuper cute! I bet my little cousin would go crazy for one of those. (especially if it's a really girly pink... she's such a girly-girl). Great idea for using up odd balls... Posted by: Tara at February 8, 2005 11:27 PMi love that headband!!! your modele is very cute and lovely headband. It' good idea Posted by: Krystine at February 9, 2005 07:19 AMit seems futile to comment when you already have 50 (!!) but i really like that headband! i bet mini is loving it. Posted by: molly at February 9, 2005 09:23 AMC'est adorable, it's very cute ! Posted by: Dominique at February 9, 2005 11:37 AMMini looks so sweet with her headband. The buttons are a nice touch. Posted by: MJ at February 9, 2005 02:06 PMWowza! How adorable! Posted by: Jennifer at February 9, 2005 10:49 PMThis is so amazingly cute! I just love the random button embelishment - it makes it so fun and whimsical. Mini is one lucky girl! ^_^ When I have children, I totally want to be a cool knitting mom like you, froggy! Posted by: Missy at February 10, 2005 02:48 PMYour Mini looks great with her new headwarmer. I also really liked the different stuff from that Japanese magazine =) Posted by: Oslofia at February 11, 2005 07:00 AM |
