Shake Your Pom Poms & GIVEAWAY
This Giveaway is now closed!
I want to take moment to thank Madam Samm @ Sew We Quilt and Theatrica@ Pig Tales and Quilts the greatest cheerleaders around! I love a challenge and Madam Samm just keeps thinking them up! Thank you ladies for arranging another terrific hop!
Welcome to "In The Boon Docks"! I am Lisa and this is my place in the middle of the woods on the side of hill! Today we are talking pom poms if you have been following the blog hop you have seen quite a few ways to use them! One thing I have observed about creative people is they like to sew, knit, crochet, and many other crafts. Pom poms can be used with many crafts to decorate and accessorize.
These are a few hats I made during the winter for baby gifts. The pom poms were made using Clover Large Pom Pom Maker for a finished 2 1/2" pom pom.
I made this hat for the Shake Your Pom Poms Blog Hop and myself! Love the colors in this yarn. I make hats using Knifty Knitter! I used the Jumbo Pom Pom Maker for a finished pom pom of 4 1/2".
I make lots of pom poms throughout the year because a hat is not finished until it has one. Most of the hats I make are for children who love the fuzzy on top. I have used many methods to make the pom poms and in my opinion Clover's Pom Pom Makers are easy to use, durable, and not expensive.
I would like to introduce you to my friend Bob! He had to help me out with modeling while my little guy was at school! Bob has a new friend I made with another pom pom. This guy was made with the Clover Ex-Large Pom Pom Maker and some very fuzzy yarn!
His name is "Gilbert Giveaway"! He is the newest member of our family here "In The Boon Docks"! He can spot a giveaway from a mile away!

Wonderful job, and such great colors of yarn! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteBob is a wonderful model for your hat! His friend Gilbert is a charmer. I knit and crochet basic items, nothing fancy. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYour hats are very pretty ... and yes ... every hat should have a pom-pom on top. Fun pictures and post. Thanks to you and Gilbert for the chance to win ... :) Pat
ReplyDeleteLove your little Pom Pom hats! Builder Bob looks so stylish! Thanks for the giveaway and I crochet!
ReplyDeleteYour hats are very cute as your model...Oh and Gilbert is adorable.....i follow by email..
ReplyDeleteBob is one handsome dude with his hat! New to crochet and going to sign up to follow you via email. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great hat and it looks so stylish on Bob. He is obviously a great helper too, sitting so still for his closeup.
ReplyDeleteI am a knitter who dreams of being able to crochet - I can chain but I am not great at anything fancy in regards to crochet.
I would like to knit more but every time my needles come out so do my children with the toy books - so I have made lots of toys!!!
I am a follower of your blog too.
I am a pom pom fan too - I make snowmen :) This is a fun blog hop!!
ReplyDeleteYay I am follower! I follow by GFC and Bloglovin, which I am still getting used to!! amycav at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteSo cute your doll.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing

Love your hats, looks great on Bob! :-)
ReplyDeleteI love your baby gifts, the babyblankets with hats are a great idea for a gift! Love your (and Bobs')hats. The pompom guy is great! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteLove Gilbert, I used to have a little one like him when I was a girl and had completely forgot about it now... I so want a little Gilbert for myself, maybe I can bring one to life soon! Thanks for sharing and the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteYour baby hats are so lovely and the pom pom guy is awesome. Thanks for sharing your creativity
ReplyDeleteYour hats are great. My grandson loves his hat with the pompom on it. I crochet and my daughter knits.
ReplyDeleteI follow you.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read about Giveaway Gilbert (and not recognizing the doll), I thought of Beaver Cleaver's friend Gilbert who was always getting Beaver into trouble. Everytime my quilting friend wins a gift certificate, she says "I wonder how much that's going to cost me?" If I am lucky enough to win the yarn and the wonderful 1-skin knitting book, I wonder what trouble I can muster up???? I have knit some hats for preemies and children of all ages with cancer and have never put a pom pom on any of them. Seeing your wonderful hats, now I want to get my needles going again. I saw your post with your future sewist - wtg. When my brother was in the clown troop in the Masonic Lodge, he made his own clown costume. My kids' dad used to make t-shirts for himself when we had a Stretch and Sew in town. We have two gentlemen in our quilt guild and they win many, many ribbons; create patterns; teach classes. One of them is getting very ill with Parkinson's, so I don't know how much longer he will be able to continue to quilt. The other guy brings him on his scooter still. Thanks for participating and inspiring us and especially for giving us a glimpse of our next generation of sewists.
ReplyDeleteI fogot to say that I am already a follower of your blog via Google.

ReplyDeleteYour little hats are adorable! They looks so comfy!
ReplyDeleteI'm a follower through GFC.
ReplyDeleteYour hats are all so nice and the pompoms make the perfect crowning touch! Your little pompom guy is a cute addition too!
ReplyDeleteLove the hats and was about to ask you where you found the pattern. I have also been making hats for kids to help out a friend in a project she has undertaken.
ReplyDeleteI knit and crochet but prefer knitting as I have done it longer and I don't have to look a book to remember how to do the stitch first like I do with crocheting.
I have been following since an earlier blog hop.
The little hats are so sweet as is the one for Bob!! I find that quilters also do other things. I both knit and crochet.
ReplyDeleteI love your hats! I want to learn how to knit, but haven't been able to do it, yet. I do crochet, but it has been awhile, but I plan to get back to it along with cross-stitching. I am a quilter, too. Love Gilbert. I am a NEW follower of your blog via bloglovin'. Thank you for the giveaway!
ReplyDeletenice projects thanks. I don't knit so no need to add me to your giveaway. love your hat and giveaway spotter.
ReplyDeleteI can do both, but only the very basic basics!
ReplyDeleteI am a follower of yours.
ReplyDeleteI am an email follower at louster388@....
ReplyDeleteI am a crocheter:) Have tried to knit a few times and I can purl or knit but never togetehr:) haha!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree a hat is not done unless it has a pom!
I learned how to crochet when I was about 8-10 years old, so its been well over 40 years and many projects later. I learned to knit in HomeEc class and made my grandma a pair of cable stitch mittens because she was always making her 20+ grandchildren mittens. It has been so long ago, I don't remember how to even cast the stitches onto the needles anymore. Your hat w/pompom is real cute.
ReplyDeleteLove Gilbert Giveaway and the hats!
ReplyDeleteAm a novice knitter- can knit and purl only right now!

ReplyDeleteI knit and crochet but they have taken a back seat to quilting. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeletethose pom poms look really great on those cute little hats you made. I am glad to hear that you liked the pom pom maker. I had never tried them before but think I will need to get one to try. Looks easier than the cardboard method.
ReplyDeleteI do some knitting now, I used to crochet. I am a follower for a while.
ReplyDeleteLove your hats! I have used that knitter before and had so much fun, but I crochet more. I have been crocheting for about 30ears. I have tried knitting I just knit one, purl one. Lol So I need that book to help me get further.

ReplyDeleteWonderful pom poms on those hats. What a sweet idea to coordinate baby blankets and hats with poms, too.
ReplyDeleteThese are simply adorable, I love the colors you chose!
ReplyDeleteYour hats are adorable. They are so much fun to make too. I grew up in the North where it snowed a lot. My aunt taught me how to crochet when I was little. I would make hats and scarfs of all different colors, shapes and sizes for myself and all the family. Thank you for bring back the wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteI am a follower and I must also add that Little Gilbert and Bob are just adorable. Thank you for sharing and for the great giveaway.

I've been crocheting since I learned from my grandmother in my early teens. I keep my hands busy making hats and baby blankets for charity while listening to TV in the evenings. Once in a while I make a big afghan as a gift.

ReplyDeleteI learned to knit about 50 years ago thanks to a wonderful lady who knitted while watching the bowlers in the league my parents were in. I taught myself to crochet a few years after that. No one in my family did any type of needlework. It is so wonderful now that we have so many resources to learn new crafts and techniques.
ReplyDeleteGreat hats. I don't knit or crochet, but my sis and daughter do. I would love to gift them. I follow by email,and blogloving. I like your work.
ReplyDeleteLove bob's hat and Gilbert. Very cute. I knit and crochet.
