  • Welcome to my blog!

    Hi! I'm Traci. I'm a Registered Nurse who loves quilting, knitting, cross stitch, and the great outdoors. In my pre-scrubs life, I owned Real Photography, and you can still see my old wedding and portrait photography site here .

    I've created a map that shows links to our camping/hiking/general family fun review posts that you can find here. It's pretty much the coolest thing on this site. Thanks, Google!

    I great big puffy heart *love* comments, so please let me know you visited! I try to always reply!

Subtle Christmas Hat | Winter’s Fern Pattern Review

I wanted to make my mom a hat for Christmas that was a subtle Christmas hat (versus the overtly reindeer hat I made for myself). I used Plucky Yarn (of course) in Wintery Mix, Barefoot in the Park, and Peep Toes.

This was a really enjoyable colorwork knit and I will be returning to this pattern, Winter’s Fern on ravelry again! https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/winters-fern
