Playing Hookie-Watermelon Beanie

I'm Playing a little hookie today!

Some of you, (my Facebook buddies w/benefits) have already seen my latest hookie project, but I wanted to share it with those of you that maybe haven't seen it yet.

So I'm working on a few projects that have more of a Spring/Summer vibe, which is nice since it is technically Spring here in Utah although I'm not sure that Mother Nature's gotten that memo. 40's today at the kids soccer games...40's! It drives me crazy because I talk to my Mom who's in good ole Texas and I'm hearing rumors of 90's! I'm so stinking jealous!!!

One of my warm weather inspired projects was to create this Watermelon inspired beanie for LilliBean who informed me the other day that "it would be just so awesome if she had a beanie that looked like a Watermelon or a Bee..." (you've got to picture this conversation with her little hands going...she's a major hands talker.)

At the same time I was thinking how I was super pumped that Watermelon season was getting closer...
(who doesn't love a good juicy watermelon?)

what can I say it all just clicked and I ran with it....

I gathered up all my yarn goodies
Watermelon Sparkle yarn, Black, White, Lime Green and Hunter Green yarn and my trusty H hook packed them all up in my yarn basket (yea I have a yarn basket...what of it?), and headed off to the Bean's dance class.

About an hour later this is what I had
Not bad huh?

This will be in the store soon, but feel free to email me if you want more info.

Happy Hookin!
