Bear Hat and Mittens


I successfully knitted a bear hat and a pair of mittens over the weekend and promptly gifted them to the preschooler.  She was thrilled even though she is battling another cold (preschool!!) and feeling under the weather. I hope I do not catch it.

I did a lot of hand washing and using hand sanitizer but I have a compromised immune system due to my autoimmune disease and the medicines I take.  Fingers are triple crossed I have dodged the germs!



Anyways, I am done with knitting little hats and mittens for now.  I consider these small projects her PRE- birthday gifts. 


What are you working on this week?

    Those are just too sweet! And, my granddaughter has a miserable cold as well (and I am just slightly glad that I am in PA and she is in MI this week!) Stay well!

    I love that bear hat (and wonder if I would look ridiculous wearing one as an adult)? It would probably be better to knit one for a child!

    That was so quick and adorable knitting, I am glad they were well received. I do hope that you don't catch her cold, that would not be a good gift back to you!

    Such a sweet hat and mittens. I see why she loves them. I always considered wee one "walking petrie dishes". Stay healthy, my friend.

    Oh those little garments turned out so cute! I'm with Bonny and wondering how I would look in a bear hat - lol. I'm plugging away on my Odyssey Shawl and loving it.

    Mmmmmmm... Why do you take care of her, since you have a compromised immune system due to your autoimmune disease and the medicines you take?????

    The hat and mittens are so sweet. I bet she looks adorable in the hat. I hope you can steer clear of the germs. There seem to be a lot of nasty viruses around. Sometimes I feel like I just about wash the skin right off of my hands. I've got two garter stitch projects going - easy knitting - a scrappy hitchhiker and (no surprise) a shawl.

    Oh dear. Lots of folks are sick around here. The barn kids have been missing classes the last two weeks. They are very fragile anyhow. Hope you look that child virus straight in the eye and scare it off. Im knitting the fingerless for Al, but I need more yarn tomorrow to keep on.

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).
