<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>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/rss-comments-entry-5706261.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Colorful Crafting with Jen: Mushroom Hat</title><category>Colorful Crafting with Jen</category><category>Hats</category><category>Sheep Shop Yarn Company</category><dc:creator>purl bee</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:02:10 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2009/11/5/colorful-crafting-with-jen-mushroom-hat.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">59842:515416:5502296</guid><description><![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>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/rss-comments-entry-5502296.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Book Review: Handmade Home</title><category>Friends of Purl</category><category>Patterns, Books + Magazines</category><dc:creator>purl bee</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Oct 2009 14:20:41 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2009/10/31/book-review-handmade-home.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">59842:515416:5648582</guid><description><![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><a href="http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/item/6146" target="_blank">Handmade Home</a> is the new book by Amanda Blake Soule, the creative mind behind the <a href="http://www.soulemama.com/" target="_blank">Soulemama</a> and the author of <a href="http://www.purlsoho.com/purl/products/item/5441" target="_blank">The Creative Famil</a>y. Amanda's latest book is all about using existing materials to make new treasures, which is an old fashioned idea, but one that seems more relevant than ever.</p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/rss-comments-entry-5648582.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Whit's Knits: Elizabeth Zimmermann's Baby Booties</title><category>Alchemy Yarns</category><category>Babies</category><category>Elizabeth Zimmermann</category><category>Gifts</category><category>Knitting</category><category>Socks</category><category>Whit's Knits</category><dc:creator>purl bee</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:47:19 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2009/10/28/whits-knits-elizabeth-zimmermanns-baby-booties.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">59842:515416:5616967</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img src="http://www.purlbee.com/storage/zimmermann-booties-5.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1256585645364" 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>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/rss-comments-entry-5616967.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Molly's Sketchbook: Reverse Applique Thanksgiving Placemat and Napkin Set</title><category>Applique</category><category>Echino Fabric</category><category>Gifts</category><category>Holiday Projects</category><category>Home</category><category>Kona Cotton</category><category>Molly's Sketchbook</category><category>Nani Iro</category><dc:creator>purl bee</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 25 Oct 2009 15:17:55 +0000</pubDate><link>http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/2009/10/25/mollys-sketchbook-reverse-applique-thanksgiving-placemat-and.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">59842:515416:5597525</guid><description><![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>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://www.purlbee.com/the-purl-bee/rss-comments-entry-5597525.xml</wfw:commentRss></item></channel></rss>
