Hats!!!

Since I have become a memeber of Ravelry it has been hard to post. I feel as though all my time is spent on the site. I have finished a couple of projects since my last post. First up is the Pirate Hat. Love the pattern. I knit this for my oldest using Knitpicks Palette. The yarn is black and white. My son loves his new hat and is awaiting the arrival of the matching mittens. Especially since he has lost one mit of his new pair of gloves I just bought him 2 weeks ago.


The second is a hat that I made for a friend who needed a new red hat to match red gloves she bought. I believe the pattern is called Simple Beanie. I used Caron Simply Soft in red and had this done in about 1 day. She loves it. I wasn't sure if it would fit her but she said it was perfect.



I have a couple of other projects going that I am trying to have done before Christmas but I don't know if they will get done. One is a blanket for my parents. Also my mom has requested a new pair of felted slippers because she blew the heel out of the ones from last year. I have one done so far and need to finish the other one before Sunday.

Lots of knitting to be done and time is running out. I also joined several new groups and hopefully they will be great too.

Time to get my oldest one off to school and I will check back in when I have time.
