Knit: Bow Hat

So I saw an amazing pinterest pin on how to knit a bow! (http://www.creatinglaura.com/2013/06/hair-bow-knitting-pattern.html) and hooked it onto my own classic hat (no pattern available but you could use your favorite). 

And then per request I made a pair of booties to match (http://www.repeatcrafterme.com/2013/05/crochet-newborn-baby-booties-pattern.html).

I think it looks amazing!! I'm a huge fan of the "camo" and neon. Expect more like this!

Craft: Matching Activity

One of my car friendly activity projects is super easy and fast to make. I cut a corner off of 8 colors of construction paper. Taped it up with packing tape (could be fancy and laminate). Then used markers to make matching clothespins. Wrote the word and did a block of color too.

It was a great game but I had to play with my 2 year old because she couldn't figure out how to operate a clothespin... So she grabbed them and told me where to clip them on.

Made a numbers version too:

It is way to hard for a 2.05 year old. Maybe like a 2.5 year old could be successful. But we practiced counting. It was pretty fun regardless of the failure.

Craft: Car Lap Activity Table

We are going on a car trip with a 2 year old. So I say to myself she can color and read and play all the way there. But then I got to thinking about how she doesn't have the lap space she needs!! So here is how I made her a lap activity board for the car.

Take a cheap whiteboard and a hot glue gun. Cut a polar fleece square 2.5-3 inches larger than the white board. Then hot glue 3 sides of the polar fleece (centered) to 3 sides of the white board.

Glue the corners together too so it ends up square. 

Then cut it: 

And hot glue it shut

Stuff to your desired stiffness with stuffing or fiberfill. I though bean bag material might be awesome as well. 

Then glue on the last side and glue up the last 2 corners in the same fashion.

Good Luck!

Knit: Carseat Strap Covers

So most car seats come with these but somehow ours totally got lost in storage for kid #2. So I had some worsted weight cotton yarn laying around and I whipped these up. 

For knitters: use size 9 double pointed needles. Cast on 20 stitches. Knit 2 purl 2 around. Repeat x 4 rows. Knit around decreasing to 18 stitches. Knit around to 1 inch below desired length. Then knit around a row increasing to 20 stitches. Knit 2 purl 2 for 4 rows than bind off. Make 2!

If you want me to make you some find me!
