Handmade Store: BostonBeanies

I started knitting in grad school to keep my fingers busy so I could concentrate on the lectures. My friends got sick of me giving them scarves as gifts all the time, and then they started getting married and having babies, so I started making gifts for the next generation.

Patterns came next with friends, family, and customers asking me for them, so I spent a summer writing and testing my most popular designs. Now they are available for sale.

I love the creative outlet of designing my own hats, and as a children's librarian, I love the connection of wearable art and picture book art. So take a look, and enjoy a bit of whimsy!
