We all made hats!

 The frigid temps kept a few of the Chicks at home but they said they would knit and think of us. I don't blame them for not wanting to expose themselves to the cold. We reached a high of 16 degrees and it feels like 11 degrees! 

I'll start today with some FOs. I made a quick project for myself using a strand of merino wool and a strand of mohair to knit the Sophie Scarf. It was a test to see if I like the two yarns together and I do! So I'll make another for donation.

Margaret completed those convertible fingerless mitts which she thought would run out of yarn before they were finished but as you can see, she had more than enough and even has some scraps left over.

Tina added a chemo cap in a very soft gray.

I finished a Norwegian Gnome hat. It was based on a traditional pattern which I modified to make a folded brim. I used Plymouth Encore in worsted weight with a size 7 needle.

Barbara B made one also using a cloud soft sock weight that has a little sparkle to it.

She also finished a Ribbons of Hope chemo cap.

 

Now for the WIPs. I've started the Crosscut Beanie by Benjamin Matthews. As soon as I saw he was the designer, I grabbed the pattern. It doesn't look like much yet so stay tuned for next week when I hope to have it finished.

Nancy used a pretty pink bamboo yarn to make a chemo cap called...

Truffle. It has an easy pretend cable stitch that makes up the delicate lacy look. And it's a freebie on Ravelry.

Maureen's hat is called Odessa. It calls for bead work but she has opted to leave out the beads to make it more comfortable to wear. 

Tina started the Grace Gardens Cap designed by Shelby Nichols, another talented hat designer.

Tina chose this softly marled yarn in hopes the cables will show up nicely.

Barbara B is also at the very beginning of her Photographer Hat. It's a cute slouchy hat that is non gender specific. It takes less than 200 yards of worsted weight yarn and is a good mindless project for tv knitting.

She brought BROOKIES!!! These combo cookie/brownies were chocolaty delicious! 

{{{{Shhh...Don't tell anyone but I had two!!!}}}}

I almost forgot to show you the adorable vehicles blanket Maureen made for a baby gift. She said it needed a thorough blocking to highlight the design. Great job Maureen!

Now I need to get back to my knitting so stay warm and keep those needles clicking!
