I am excited to finally have an opportunity to show off some of the new Top Dawg Beanies I've been working on. Here are 16 of them, but I have more in other colors also. I did not know how awesome all of these colors really are until I took these hats out into the sunlight to get a photo. It is taking me longer to finish this batch of hats than I had planned but that is only because I have been lazy and busy all at the same time. Anyway I hope you like this sneak preview of the hats I'm gonna be adding to The Hat Pit very soon.

It's been awhile since I've updated this blog. The reason for that is because I have been working really hard on creating Top Dawg Beanies in all of the guys colors that I have available. My goal is to make one of them in all of the guys colors so that I can have a hat on display over at The Hat Pit in each of the colors. While it is true that I do have examples of the colors on my yarn colors page, I thought it was important to have an actual hat made in each color to give everyone a better idea of what the colors look like. I have so far gotten 19 new solid color hats made and hopefully will be finishing up the rest in a week or two and hopefully will have all of the new hats on display by the end of June or first week of July.

I have put off work on the Air Walker Beanies for awhile so that I can finish up my project on the Top Dawg Beanies. I have not decided if I am going to create a full set of Air Walker Beanies in each solid color as I am doing with the Top Dawg Beanies. Part of me says do it, and the other part of me says "just let the customer custom order whatever color they want" for those hats. I would however like to have a full set of those hats on display also, so I may go ahead and buckle down on getting a set of those created as well. Who knows, it may become a trend to have a full set of each style available in each available color on display. They say hard work pays off right.

So that is pretty much it for now. You guys will be seeing lots of cool new beanies getting posted pretty soon. I hope your all have a great summer so far.

I have been hard at work designing a new beanie that I think will be great for the guy who just always has to wear a hat no matter what the season.  It has an open stitch for air flow which means this is a hat that won't burn up your head in the summer time.  I think it would be great for summer evenings going out to the movies or wearing to the coffee shop.  It's also a great hat for windy days.    I've decided to call this one my Air Walker Beanie.  I just think it is a cool name for the style.  It is very lightweight and has a very slight bucket hat style brim.

Here are some photos to show you what this new beanie looks like.



Shown above in Blue Camo Stripes.



Shown in the second picture in the color Old Leaf which I believe is now a limited color due to discontinuation.  I'm not even sure I can find this color any more and I don't even think I have enough yarn left in that color to make another hat.... so that means when this hat sells it will be the last one I'll ever have in that color.... unless of course I get lucky and find some more.

Leave a comment and let me know what you think about these new hats.

Gonna keep it short and simple for this post. I added five new beanies to The Hat Pit. Go check 'em out.

I ran out today to pick up some new yarn supplies for the Top Dawg Beanies I'm making.  Some colors are old and some colors are new but they are all going to make some really cool looking hats.  Some of the new colors include Paprika, Light Taupe, Antique Taupe, and Greybeard which is a darker color grey than I have had in stock.  I know those of you who keep asking for a darker grey will be happy about that.  I tried to pick a lot of natural, earthtone colors when I went out for my supplies so I have a lot of lighter tones such as Linen, Ivory, and Antique White which are going to make some great accents against all the other colors.  I some browns, some more black because I always need black, and I also got some greens and reds such as Forest Green, Mid Green and Cranberry.  Oh and don't let me forget the blues that I got also.  One of them is a new blue color... but the name of it escapes me right now and I'm too lazy to go dig it out of my storage box LOL.  I am imagining some really awesome hats coming out of this new yarn batch.
