I've been working on a couple of hats for TPP Michigan. A nice simple pattern that can be finished in less than two hours is just what I needed at the end of a very busy day.
Pattern: Rolled-Brim Preemie Hat
Yarn: Bernat Cotton Tots
Colors: Jelly Belly and Easter Parade
Needles: US 7
Size: 3-5 lbs
And here's another cute hat I finished some time ago, but never blogged about.
Pattern: Noedel
Yarn: Lion Brand Cotton-Ease
Color: Ice Blue
Needles: US 7
Size: 3-5 lbs
I haven't done as much knitting for charity this year because of all the travel. It feels good to get back to it. I know I cannot maintain the pace I set the last couple of years (that's how the house ended up in such a mess), but I can knit a hat occasionally. The trick is to keep everything in balance. So far, so good.
Yes, that's been the "trick" for me the past three weeks, too...keeping everything in balance! hahahahaha! Still teeter-tottering like crazy over here. I love looking at the hats you're making, though. It gives me something pretty to look at whilst I wish I could knit again! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe hats are adorable. Moderation is key in everything.
ReplyDeleteVery cute hats. I'm struggling to find that balance as well. I'm not knitting nearly as much for charity as I used to, and need to get myself back into it. Baby hats are really good for the spirit.
ReplyDeletelove the hats! i need to do a big turn over on my house as well.... maybe you can inspire me to get started ;)
ReplyDeleteYour knits always turn out so nice. I love how the yellow, pink and purple flecks lined up in the roll-brimmed hat!
ReplyDeleteThe hats are adorable.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed your beach photos :)
I cleaned out a few rooms and closets here this summer and made big dump and donation runs, but I still have some to go. First thing is to redo the livingroom and make room for a large floor loom.
What sweet little hats! I haven't seen that second pattern before. It's lovely.
