photos of my knitted hats

Here are photos of the hats I have been making non-stop. Gitika and I modeled them on New Year's Day. Ashe was the photographer!

hiatius

I've still been making hats, I've lost count by now. I gave a multi-colored one to Gitika and it looks beautiful on her. She's a walking ad for my hats, I swear. I will upload photos of her in my hat asap.

too many crafts...

I didn't end up getting any craft books or kits for Christmas. It's probably just as well as I have so many projects at home to finish, not sure when I will get the time to do them!
I'm on my 8th hat now, still not bored by this type of knitting... Was thinking of maybe spicing some of the hats up with buttons on the brims.
I tried to make the loom scarf but something went wrong so I unraveled it and will have to try it again. Picking up how to knit the scarf is much harder than learning the hat pattern, which came to me without trouble.

fifth hat

I finished my fifth green hat (so relaxing) and started a multi-colored one. I want to give a green one to Beth for her birthday and the multi-colored one to Beth's daughter, Kelsey, whose birthday is about one week later. Here's a pic of me wearing one of the green ones at a bar in Stamford. The first photo is scenery from the bar, taken by Ash.

fourth hat

I'm on my fourth green hat, this one I'm making with a brim...This is so meditative and relaxing and addictive I have even been doing this at stop lights...It feels so good. Wonder if I could make a living doing this, selling these pretty things on http://www.etsy.com/index.php or something. I bought another ball of this green yarn because I want to knit some scarves, too, and perhaps a blanket. Also picked up today before work a multi-colored brighter skien, which will be fun, too.

more knitting

I am on my third loom knitting hat! So pretty, pretty pretty this green yarn I'm knitting with....Haven't worn it yet in public, but I will because it's so pretty, actually probably more pretty than warm! Hoping to finish the third hat today and then maybe will start on a scarf or try the purple yarn I had in my craft pile.

Borders

I was at Borders yesterday doing Christmas shopping and came across this huge craft kit for $20. It had rock painting, a sock puppet kit, friendship bracelets and clay art. I bought it and didn't tell Diane it was for myself, sometimes I'm so embarrassed at how much I love these kids' kits!
