Just a quick post to report that I have finished hat 49 of 52 for 2016. These are 3 chunky, tweedy hats, made with multiple strands of stash yarns. The green ones are adult size and will be going to the Mission for Seamen. The grey and maroon one is child size, and will be for Operation Orphan's
2017 campaign to Keep a Child Warm. On 27 December we will be driving up to Twickenham to meet friends and go to the Harlequins rugby game at Twickenham Stadium, so I will have time to make progress on a matching scarf go with the child's hat. I don't tend to knit hats in the car because of the danger of losing dpns under the driver's seat. Once bitten, twice shy definitely applies in that case!
Still lots to do on this Christmas Eve; both my sons and my daughter-in-law will be arriving later today, so there are beds to prepare, baking to be done, and still quite a few presents to be wrapped and stockings to prepare. So I will use this picture of our local woods in the snow to wish everyone who happens on my blog a very Happy Christmas, and thank you for taking the time to read my posts.
...and a happy Christmas to you, Barbara. Your combination of yarns has worked really well in these hats. I love combining yarns and more of us should try it.
ReplyDeleteLovely hats Barbara, have a wonderful Christmas. :) x
