Catching up with Hats Post--

Today's projects that I am sharing with you are some hats that I've made. The first hat is a Santa hat in basic black. This pattern is easy to follow and fun to make. I can make one of these in just a little over 1 evening watching TV. Ladies, most of us like our LBD (little black dress) and Santa likes his LBH (little black hat) for everyday wear. Here's his--

Here are a few Seafarer Caps that I made for one of my sons. The bright yellow one is an attempt to make him more visible when he's at work. He works outdoors and I think that yellow might be good for visibility. I've made this pattern before and the first few times I didn't care for it but then as I got more familiar with the pattern I started liking it. I like the looks of this one because it has a more "manly" look to it than many other crocheted hats.

I still have more little projects to share with you but I will leave them for another day. Take care my friends.--

Santa Is a Minnesota Viking

I'm writing this way ahead of time because this hat is a gift for a a friend who is a great fan of the Minnesota Vikings. The 2 Santa hats I made for Christmas went over very well and I had a request for this one and one done in green and white for one of Santa's elves. So, having the delayed appearance of this on my blog is to keep my friend from seeing it before receiving it.

Here it is--

I had plenty of extra yarn so I made this scarf to go with the hat--

The colors aren't showing up on the scarf picture very well. The colors are a golden yellow color and dark purple.

I will be delivering this hat and scarf in person. By the time you read this, I will be inland of San Francisco visiting 2 of my friends. One is a friend since high school way back in the 1970s. We always have fun and lots of laughs even when we're just visiting over coffee.

Take care...

Hat for a Junior Elf

I'm still making hats for next Christmas. I feel so motivated.  This hat is for a young child. This pattern is very easy. The only variation I did was to make a pompom instead of a crocheted "ball" to put on the peak of the hat. I hope I get to see a picture of youngster wearing this hat next holiday season.  Here it is--

I found a new pattern for slipper socks that I want to try. These are a bit more "light-weight." I need to step out of my comfort zone and try something different. I finished a scarf last night except for weaving in the ends. There are a lot of them since there are stripes involved. Hope to have that ready to show you in a day or 2. 

That's all for now folks.

Hugs,

Getting Ready for Christmas 2015

The 2 Santa hats I made for last Christmas went over so well that I had requests for more. I was requested to make one in green for one of the elves in California at the North Pole.  This is a fun pattern to make--it's easy and for me, it takes a little over an evening watching television to make one start-to-finish. It's great to have such an early head start on projects for next Christmas.

There will now be one elf staying warm next winter. 

That's all folks. Hope y'all are doing okay. Take care my friends.
