Grab Your Hat!

Hello Dear Friends!  I've been on a hat-knitting binge...6 hats in 7 days.  Oh my how I love instant gratification FO's!!!  And to really top it off, I was able to pair stash yarns with patterns off of Ravelry :)

There's more snow in tonight/tomorrow's forecast.  5-10 inches.  So it's a good thing I've got everyone's head covered!  The only remnants remaining of last week's snow is broken tree branches (and trees.)  The kids have even worn shorts for a couple days since then.  Gosh, I love Colorado weather...always changing, always different!

Thanks for stopping by my neck of the woods and for your sweet comments!

PS.  Oldest makes the pom-poms.  I really think she makes the best ones I've ever seen :)

    Thanks for sharing your pattern choices. My needles need to get clacking for some men/boys and I was hard pressed to find a pattern that seemed manly enough. You are so productive!

    It's hard to make a pompom that is even and perfect, you're right. Great hats.

    Great hats! I'll be looking at those patterns, because there's some lovely purple yarn in my stash that needs to take a turn on my needles.

    Your oldest's pom-poms are wonderful. Has she tried tassels yet? I'll bet she'd be good at those also.
