Burnt Wheat Hat

 


I did it! I finished my hat a few days ago and instead of having five projects on the needles, I am now doing four projects. My brain loves that amount. For some reason I feel pressure with five projects. This hat was a fun project, it's the third one I've made of this design. I love the double thickness for walking in the extreme cold. It's the only hat design that I have knitted that keeps my heat toasty warm. 

By the way, my daughter wove the scarf in the background of my photo. I love it so much!! She is talented and thoughtful. 

What are you working on this week?

    Your hat is so pretty, Karen. I love the color...and your daughter is definitely talented when it comes to the scarf that she wove. I have what is referred to as an Amish Buggy Blanket that I got at an auction that is of the very same design...wool, of course, and I love it!

    Great finish on your hat and how wonderfully it coordinates with the gorgeous scarf your daughter wove. Lucky you!!

    Your hat is very pretty. Finishing a project is always a good feeling. The scarf is beautiful. Your daughter is as talented as her mother.

    I know you're enjoying that toasty warm hat - it turned out beautifully! I'm knitting the sleeves on a warm winter cardigan and hoping the crazy cold weather won't hang around waiting for me to finish it!

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...
