Welcome to Small Stitch Knits

Welcome to Small Stitch Knits! I am so excited to offer these hand-knitted (with love) hats for babies and toddlers. My road to knitting started several years ago when I started dating my now husband, who is an avid football (or should I say any sport on TV) fan. He thought that watching a football game with him was  totally romantic! Well, I sure thought differently. While I love sports, I do not enjoy sitting on a couch for hours on end watching play after play after play after... Let's just say I have trouble sitting still in one place for awhile. I feel lazy if I am not doing something! So, in order to fulfill my husband's idea of a romantic night of football watching, I decided to learn how to knit. Yes, I was still "sitting" there, but at least I was accomplishing something! At first I made a hat, then a scarf, than another hat, and on and on it went... I was addicted. My mother, also an avid knitter and football fan, discovered that now her knitting & football game-watching time was a little less enjoyable. Why you ask? Because her phone was now ringing off the hook with me asking knitting questions! "Mom, how do you fix a dropped stitch? Mom, I ran out of yarn? Mom, I think it's the wrong size! Mom, what is this pattern saying?" Thank you, Mom, for being so patient with me & teaching me all of the ins and outs of the knitting world!  Knitting is complete "therapy" for me. I love the feeling of accomplishment after I have finished a project. I love to see a child wearing the hat I made for them. I have always dreamed of having some kind of artistic gene (no thanks to my mom/dad I did not get this gene). I guess this is as close as I will get. I hope you enjoy perusing the hats. In the meantime, you can guarantee that I am knitting away while my husband thinks he is on his "romantic" TV-watching date.
