Back From Vacation!

Home at last!  Vacation is over & I've added to the growing pile of children's hats.  I made 4 hats while we were gone, plus a pair of mittens.  I'm not sure I'll continue on the mitten binge...I'm just not sure I want to do them. 

We met a very nice family at our motel, & I gave one of the hats to their little girl.  So I have 15 hats completed...& I started another, but haven't gotten too far on it. 

I also tried to make some of the miniature sweaters, but I wasn't really happy with my results.  I started with about 30 sts in the round with a baby yarn & increased to 36, which looked really nice, but I wanted it smaller.  So I went to about 15 sts, I didn't like it...then 20, still no.  Thirty sts seems to be the right amount.  If I decide to play with them further, that will be my target st number around. 

I'm still planning on posting pictures of my completed hat collection, I would like to finish the one I'm working on first, then I'll take pictures.  I also want to add the frilly touches, pom-poms & such too.  I'm hoping to get the hats to the donation box within a few days! 

So what is next?  Well, I'm sure I'll continue with hats, adult chemo hats, though.  I also have a Christmas project I want to start, but it shouldn't take too long.  I just have to figure out what it is I want to do & how to do it!  I'll post my results here as I progress with it.  

It's good to be home, even though the beach was wonderful!
