Warm Hats Everywhere

We start off this week's episode with Janna's finished bulky knit hat with a cheerful pompom. She knitted it flat but since the yarn was so thick, it couldn't be threaded through the eye of a needle to sew up the seam. So she crocheted the seam and it added a nice little feature to the side of the hat.
 Debbie finished her cabled cowl and blocked it which smoothed out the stitching beautifully.
 Carole is having a ball knitting Helix hats! This one she knitted up quickly.
 And Margaret decided to do her own thing with this hat since the directions were so unclear. I think I like this one better than the original pattern.
 Here is another of Carole's Helix hats. The nice thing about this style of knitting is that you can combine color combinations which might not go well together when you hold the skein of yarns together but they look great in the stripes!
 And Carole added another 1898 hat to the inventory. We all agree that this is our favorite hat.
 Janna is almost finished with her Homespun scarf. One skein of Lion Brand Homespun was enough for the whole scarf.
 And Barbara is pretty close to being done with her sparkly scarf. Next week it will go into inventory.
 Debbie had a dilemma with the thumb of her fingerless mitts. The directions said to knit the thumb to 13 stitches but it barely makes it around her thumb so she will frog it and make the gusset bigger to add a few more stitches.
 Margaret worked steadily on an earwarmer/headband and by evening's end...
 it was done!
 Maureen's hat might have to wait until the next round of donations but it's coming along nicely.
 Carole is wrapping up another Helix hat. I'd say she really enjoys this pattern.  Plus it uses up scraps of yarn nicely.
 I think I'll start the decreasing portion of this little hat soon. I might have to put a few tacking stitches on the zigzag section so it stays flat.
And look who is still visiting! She really enjoys a good fire. 
She was so comfortable I hated to turn off the fireplace but it was getting late and I need my beauty sleep. Tomorrow is another day and it's going to get a lot colder before it gets warmer so she'll have more opportunities to lounge. 
Have a great week and keep those needles clicking!
