Photo: May Hat #3















I really like this yarn: Bernat's Boucle in a brown/beige combo. Knits up a quick, fuzzy textured hat.

Another baby hat: I used the Homespun in blue/black on the brim and a nice purple/pink acrylic blend (added with the fore-mentioned Homespun) in the body.

Did not meet June goals

Unfortunately, I did not meet SW's June goals. Perhaps they were too steep for summer and my current work and school schedule:( Add to this, I was hacked mid-month. Yah, it was not a good month.

Rest assured, I haven't given up. With half the year gone, I have 92 scarves to finish. Yikes. Luckily there are plenty of holidays to come to catch up on the count.

Speaking of which, I got away from a bit to VA for the weekend, and I have already started on the July count (post to come). Also, I have finally taken the hat photos from May. They will be posted soon. Yes, May:)

Scarf on!
