<p>The Fiddlehead Pullover from Kelborne Woolens is one of the sweetest and most classic baby sweaters we've seen in a long time. It was designed by the creative minds at <a href="http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/yarndetail/3951" target="_blank">Kelborne Woolens</a> and we're happy to share it with you <a href="http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/yarndetail/3951" target="_blank">exclusively and for free here</a> on The Purl Bee!</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2009/11/5/colorful-crafting-with-jen-mushroom-hat.html"><rss:title>Colorful Crafting with Jen: Mushroom Hat</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2009/11/5/colorful-crafting-with-jen-mushroom-hat.html</rss:link><dc:creator>purl bee</dc:creator><dc:date>2009-11-05T15:02:10Z</dc:date><dc:subject>Colorful Crafting with Jen Hats Sheep Shop Yarn Company</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.purlbee.com/storage/mushroom-hat-425.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1257010501570" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>I love making and wearing hats, but many times when I actually need to wear one (which isn't too often since I live in Southern California) my hair is in a bun or a ponytail on top of my head, and if I don't take it down the hat won't cover my ears.&nbsp; If I do take my hair down, I end up with pony tail bumps and hat head when the hat is off!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2009/10/31/book-review-handmade-home.html"><rss:title>Book Review: Handmade Home</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2009/10/31/book-review-handmade-home.html</rss:link><dc:creator>purl bee</dc:creator><dc:date>2009-10-31T14:20:41Z</dc:date><dc:subject>Friends of Purl Patterns, Books + Magazines</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.purlbee.com/storage/handmade-home-cover.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1256907050520" alt="" /></span></span></p>

<p>I have long loved these <a title="http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/booklist/author,11" href="http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/booklist/author,11" target="_blank">Elizabeth Zimmermann</a> booties. Last year I made them with <a title="http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/yarnlist/gauge,7" href="http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/yarnlist/gauge,7" target="_blank">fingering weight</a> yarn to fit my newborn baby, and they got him through his first cold winter. Recently my family received wonderful news that made me want to knit some bigger booties.</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item><rss:item rdf:about="http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2009/10/25/mollys-sketchbook-reverse-applique-thanksgiving-placemat-and.html"><rss:title>Molly's Sketchbook: Reverse Applique Thanksgiving Placemat and Napkin Set</rss:title><rss:link>http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2009/10/25/mollys-sketchbook-reverse-applique-thanksgiving-placemat-and.html</rss:link><dc:creator>purl bee</dc:creator><dc:date>2009-10-25T15:17:55Z</dc:date><dc:subject>Applique Echino Fabric Gifts Holiday Projects Home Kona Cotton Molly's Sketchbook Nani Iro</dc:subject><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.purlbee.com/storage/reverse-applique-beauty-425.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1256414492763" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>Thanksgiving is such a great holiday because it's all about celebrating food! I've celebrated it in a lot of places, including sunny California, freezing New England and even once in Hawaii where a colony of ants attacked the pumpkin pie, but no matter where we are the ritual is always the same, a celebration with family and friends and a uniquely American meal.</p>]]></content:encoded></rss:item></rdf:RDF>
