Replacement Hat

 



Good morning! How are you? What have you been working on this week?

My son in law lost his favorite hat on a walk in their new town and my daughter requested a replacement hat. Music to a knitter's ears! I eagerly dug through my stash and whipped this up on size 8 needles and have already mailed it to him. I might make a back up hat for the replacement hat in the new year.

What are you working on this week?

    A backup to a replacement, that's a great idea! I decided I did need to do some Christmas knitting after all and have cast on a Bankhead hat. I need to finish this one and make at least one more, maybe two.

    A hat and a back up are a great plan!

    Very clever to male a replacement for the replacement. Still working on my Vixynn sweater.

    That's a great hat. It looks so warm and cozy for winter walks. I need to get going on my crocheting again. I have completely gotten away from it. Thanks for the inspiration to start back up. :-)

    A replacement hat will be a nice surprise. A back-up sounds like a good idea. I'm working on a shawl and a sweater. I also am trying to get my spinning mojo back.

    Nice hat, I have a hat pattern & yarn waiting but I must finish my blanket. I'm halfway but starting so long ago.

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! How are you? How was your weekend? I had a great weekend but I didn't take any great photos. I've been wrapping presents a little bit each day instead of doing it all in one massive long day. This has made a difference in my joy as I wrap. Do you wrap all at once? Or do you do a little bit at a time? Miss Holly has been finding the sun spots and getting her 'tan' going. She is a sweetie. I have no idea what she is watching outside that window. She does that every day. My guess is probably birds or chipmunks but chipmunks should be resting now that it's super cold outside. Sadly I did not take any photos of my knitting, but I have been knitting! I continue to work on my husband's hat and I ripped out a pair of mitts I started (couldn't see the dark yarn with cabling) and started a much simpler pattern instead. Sunday was church then the laundry. I am getting excited for the upcoming holidays. The kids are coming back with the grandchildren and...
