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!
