A Dozen Hats!

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!
