The Final Chapter
This is it people.. no more hats for me for a while! I think there is 16 total. I need to get a group shot, but unfortunately that will have to wait for another week or so. The last few were a bit painful, but I think they all came out wonderful in the end... A big thank you to Susan B. Anderson, for creating such a beautiful book :)

Other Details: Very cute, but a little too girly for me. This will make a great gift, even though I sewed the turning row to the wrong side. I ended up adding a crocheted chain to the eyelets to make it all better :) Thanks to my elephant, Ellie, I had something to model it on!

OH GAWD! The adorableness is almost too painful. I'm going to amazon.com to order the book right now.
Very nice hats!
i'm addicted to these hats, too, though i've only completed one.
yours are just to die for. truly.
Oh, I really, really love your hats, you're doing such a fantastic job with knitting up these gorgeous, different designs! Beautiful!
I LOVE that book, but have not made a single hat out of it yet. Your hats are wonderful and very inspiring!
They're all awesome! I thought it was cool when you first posted about this.. I have a local friend who also intends to knit every hat in that particular book!
I just love that book and can't wait to knit a hat from it. I would have loved to knit one for my nephew (1.5 years old), but his mom - my sister - said her son's hats must match the colors of his winter jacket, or else she won't put the hat on his head. THAT definitely put me off :-(
Btw, how many hanks of Sunshine Yarns would I need to make a pair of socks?
Dani,
I have enjoyed your beautiful itty-bitty knitting once again. Thanks for sharing all of your creations.

I looked througth the book last weekend, but had to hold off getting it. The last hat (with flower on top ) is one I have been designing....Oh, well, lovely to see all the hats. Your work is so sweet!
Greetings and saluations!
I am your sockapalooza 4 pal (oOoo). I've gotten your information and went to my local SNB tonight and I thought I picked out a great yarn for you... but I'm not sure:
1. How much you want to know beforehand. Are you one of those "Don't tell me, I want it to be a surprise!" types?
2. You talk about color but don't discuss yarn types that you prefer. Are you an "All wool, all the time" type or are you cool with a blend?
3. What are your favorite types of snack food?
Also, I'm so pleased that you like lace because I'm all about the lace knitting!
I took a walk through your archives and noticed your HP-themed socks. Wow! With the next movie coming up, will you do a batch? I'd love to pick up some in my house colors someday. Hee! (I dress up in Gryffindor even though I'm really a Ravenclaw in terms of personality.)
Anyway, will write again soon!
Wow. It has been fun to watch them all knit up by you! I love the bonnets. Always love bonnets the most. :)
What cute baby attire! Thanks so much for the amazing "Airy" sock yarn with a pattern! Your work is simply divine. I love it! Thank you so much!!
I bought this book on Friday, and the turtle hat is one of the standouts to me! I need to pick up some stria and make it.
All of your hats have lead me to go out and buy the book. I luckily have a baby boy to knit for. I am now counting you as an enabler (I sure hope that is spelled right).
I just found your blog via the blue blog and it is great! I love all the hats, they are so cute. It is silly to want a ribbon hat for myself? Please say no.
O so cute!! I have to take a look at that book!
