We had a good crowd today and everyone brought their 1898 hats in various stages of completion.
I ran out of yarn with the one I was making so rather than frog the whole thing so close to the end, I decided to turn it into a ponytail hat. This is the second time this has happened. I'm thinking either some of the yarn was used from the skein or the label lied about how many yards it contained.
Barbara B. added 2 to our inventory.
Dorah started the day finishing up the ear band and performed a three needle bind off to make...
A completed ear band from which she picked up stitches to knit the crown of the hat.
Jan A. made good progress on her hat too. She has great stitch definition and tension to her knitting. Did I mention she learned how to knit just before the pandemic hit?
Janna's hat shows how she is picking up the stitches from the edge using a crochet hook to make the task a bit easier.
And Barbara K. showed what the ear band looks like before it's folded.
Carole started from the provisional cast on.
And Margaret is almost finished with her ear band.
I started a second one with more than enough yarn to finish it to the end. I don't want to have another pony tail hat!
Barbara B. started another hat today.
This one will look like the trees in autumn.
If you like a quick and easy project, this is the hat to make because by the time you pick up the stitches for the crown, the hat is already half finished.
That's all for now. Enjoy the fall weather and keep those needles clicking!
