I finished the last children's hat last evening. I'll add some decorative touches to the unadorned hats & off they go! I doubt I'll be starting another project today, but who knows? I want to get these hats done & out of here! It is definately winter here, & the children need the hats more than I do! I'm sure my family will be glad to see them go.
I still need to photograph them. I think I'll stuff them with balls of yarn because it will have more body than the soup cans I used the last time. At least it is easy to get the pictures on the computer, & then fairly easy to get the pictures online! I'm probably going to get offline early today, so I can embellish the hats & get pictures of them while the sun is still out. I get truer colors when the pics are taken in some daylight.
All in all, I'm pleased with my progress on the hats. They were loads of fun to do. Plus I don't usually add pom-poms & stuff, so these just look so darn cute! I may start adding poms to the adult hats...but I'm not sure. I know I wouldn't like the pommy, but some folks might! I borrowed Nicky Epstein's book "Knitted Embellishments" from the library. It has many ideas in it for knitted flowers & leaves & stuff, so I may try some of those also. That is a book I'd like to own (hint, hint, hubby)!!
Nicky Epstein is very creative...her brain must be on overload! It makes you wonder how she finds the time to knit everything she comes up with! Years ago at a Stitches convention (sponsored by Knitter's Magazine), I took a class taught by Nicky. It was for knitted I-cord embellishments. This was before her book, & I still have my notes from the class. Now most of these ideas, if not all, are in her book, & she added tons more, as well.
Well, I'm going to call it a day for now on the puter, & get moving on my 3D day! Lots of knitting to do & not enough time to do it!
