Roar

I loved working with Spud & Chloe yarn on the Mod Circle Set. I've since ended up with almost every colorway in my stash. I just can't help myself! I've knit several of these dinosaur hats already, and used a couple of different color combinations as well. I ended up using a blue combo for this pattern (Moonlight & Splash), Splash is my absolute favorite (and what I used for my Wicked Sweater!)

Anyway, these are also the first pictures I get to show you from Tot Topper's new photographer! Sara did a great job coaxing Jesse into some picture taking (not an easy task these days). Karin has relocated to Baltimore and her camera went with her...
