HOWEVER, my participation in the 15 Hats in 2015 Challenge set out by Stash and Burn is going well! OK, it is going well because as part of the "warm-up," 2 of the hats could be knit in December 2014.
Hat #1 was a last minute gift for me. I had gotten a new fleece jacket earlier in the year, and decided I needed a coordinating hat. It is another Noro hat...
Hat #2 is the last of the hats I knit for my 4 grandsons. These hats all had a "secret:" the first 2 stripes above the ribbing had numbers of rows equal to the month and date of their birthday. The colors were chosen especially for them also- Minecraft, NY Yankees, etc. I used Plymouth Encore worcested from my stash and purchased other colorways, too.
The boys also received matching fingerless mitts, but I neglected to get a photo of all 4.
I have chosen both the yarn and the pattern for hat #3. I love to knit hats and probably knit more than 15 in any given year (almost all for various charities) so this is not a big deal for me. What is a big deal, though, is that I tend to knit the same few patterns over and over and over again, The added challenge to myself is that I will knit 10 of the hats using 10 new-to-me patterns,
Well, it is Saturday morning and I stayed up too late last night and therefore slept through breakfast, it is too rainy and cold to walk, I don't know where to begin with the organizing, and I'm too lazy to gather the cards, pens, and addresses for the letters. I think I will knit...
