After looking at the helix hat I started Sunday, I thought I would try a few more rounds to see if it looked better...and it did! So I finished it yesterday, & I almost finished a boy's mitered hat. The hat itself is actually done, but I want to put a ribbing around the brim. Most likely it will be finished later today. Then, I'm probably going to do another girly hat.
After I'm done with a hat, I'll leave it sitting across the room but right in front of me. This way, I keep looking at it to see what embellishments I should add to make it more fun & festive. Boys hats are rather limited. Maybe a pom-pom, but that's about it. Girls hats are a blast, cause you can add flowers, bows, ribbons, pretty much whatever you want.
The saddest thing is, even though I've made so many hats (about 5 dozen), scrap yarn afghans (two queen sized), the I-cord rug (still in progress!) & squares (150 or more?) for Warm Up America, I still have tons of yarn left.
I have most of it stored in boxes in my closet. Which is nice, cause it is out of the way, but sadly, it is also out of sight & not too easily accessible. When I'm working on a project like the hats, I usually bring a box of scraps down to the den, where I can get to it easily. Its ugly, though, & gets in the way. The hubby is always complaining about them. I'll put them back for a short while, but then, I'll start dragging them back out.
I need to be able to have them handy, & in a good light so I can pair them up with other colors. Sigh...I need some sort of storage unit (attractive would be nice!) in the den so I can put some yarns there. A working supply readily at hand! Hmm...something else to wish for...guess I'll just go knit!
