Christmas Hats


I finished the last hat over the Thanksgiving weekend and now I need to sew in the tags and wrap them up.  They are gifts for the adult kids who will all be here for Christmas.  I enjoyed knitting this pattern four times.  I continue to be a repeat offender when I find a pattern that I like.

Also knitting with worsted weight wool has its benefits, these were speedy knits compared to my go to fingering weight choices.

Now to cast on a pair of socks for my husband for Christmas!

    What a lovely pattern. I am procrastinating. I need to start sleeves for a sweater - sigh.

    Such nice finishes!! And so nice that ALL the kids will be there for Christmas. I'm knitting on some socks, but I have time. also my son's blanket which I cannot rush due to bulky yarn and big needles - lol. I'm enjoying the process though, and that's important.

    They look great! I'm working on some slippers. I'm also working really hard on letting go of the idea to make gifts for everyone ;-)

    Wonderful and warm! I'm also knitting Christmas hats and am also a repeat offender with the Rikke pattern. My third and fourth hats are on the needles and I hope to finish them up as quickly as you have!

    Slippers for my dear son, who rarely asks for anything - but did mention slippers in a conversation last weekend! Gift knitting is one thing that brings such joy to a knitter's heart!

    Very nice hats Karen! You got a lot of them done. I love the pattern. I finished the candy cane scarf and will be continuing with the shawl for the next little while. Then will start on some fun Christmas ornaments. Have a good week!

    Love your hats, sometimes it can be easier to knit the same thing over and over especially for gifts, at least you might get to memorise the pattern! I am knitting a mitten at the moment and not much else, don't seem have had much time for knitting this week.

Weekends

My weekend happily contained: -wearing the above woolens all at the same time without being hot -so many walks and taking in the changing leaves. -a leaf shower on Saturday-the wind swirled the leaves off the trees up in the air to float down -changing screen savers to autumn themes! -a craft fair where my husband and I say "we could make that", but we don't. -french fries at the craft fair -scrambled eggs and toast for dinner because we were lazy. -football season has descended in my house. he was in the front room watching whatever is on today -I sat in the family room and watched A Tree Grows in Brooklyn .   Now I want to read it again. -Oh! I finished the socks!! So I wound up about six skeins of yarn and have three projects ready -started a cowl for me in fall colors (I hope to finish before fall ends) -enjoying Spirits of Joy .  Hannah graciously had a one day free sign up for her birthday at the end of September which I luckily saw on Twitter.  Than

  Good morning to you! How are you? I'm excited about my hat that I've been knitting enjoying the sea of stockinette stitches. When I first started the hat I thought it would be too small, now I wonder if it will be too big. Gah. I will find out soon I guess. I wish the photo about showed how beautiful the colors are in real life, you'll have to trust me on this! Below is my next knitting project, the habitation throw . I will definitely use the pink and gray, I'm still not sure about that purple, I might have a look-see in my stash and do another ponder about that color. I chose this pattern because I can use up some of my stash and I adore Helen Stewart's patterns. What are you working on this week? Also: I will probably not be posting this Friday and the following Monday because of my family visiting. I hope to be back next Wednesday (unless I change my mind).
