Well, the dozen children's hats are done. Sigh...they have been so much fun to make. I actually finished the last hat 2 days ago, so yesterday was spent adding pom-poms & such. They came out so cute, but I could be a little biased! I wish I had a dozen kids around so I could get a picture of them wearing the hats, but I'll have to settle for empty hats. :( Now I just need to get them into the donation center. Still thinking about some mittens, though!
The new Patternworks catalog came in the mail yesterday. The cover shows a Christmas tree decorated with miniature knitted sweaters & wooley sheep, plus a knitted tree skirt. I want my tree to look like that! :) So now I have this bug about making mini sweaters. I don't have a pattern for them, but I think it could be loads of fun to do, plus really cute, too! I may have to try a few of them. The holidays are coming & they would be cute package decorations, or maybe even a pin. The brain is always going on knitty stuff! On overload, I think!
We are traveling out of town today, & we will be gone for the whole week. We are going to the beach for vacation, my poor hubby needs a break. I'll have LOTS of time for knitty projects, both in the car & at our destination. I have a HUGE bag of yarn packed for (hopefully!) whatever project bug gets into my system. I may do hats while on the road, because they are rather mindless work, I don't have to look at them or even really think about them. Just knit! I like that! It should prove to be a relaxing time, ocean waves, seagulls, & knitting! Ahhhh, what a life!
