The yellows do not show well against the white background and my lack of photography skills, lol. This hat matches the popcorn hat. It has a yellow brim with a swirled top. Stylin' baby!

Hat #1: Photo (January)
Ah, a dalmatian hat! This one would go perfectly with the dalmatian scarf I made not too long ago. In fact, this scarf was made out of the remaining skein. Of course, it is homespun:)
There have been many people who donated yarn to me. Often, they will say that they have just partial skeins leftover from a completed project. Can you use it, they ask. Of course, I can! In fact, many partial skeins are used in the hats I made. Of course, it can make for a funky hat sometimes, but hey that is creativity!
Whew! Mission Accomplished
Well, well, I have good news to report. I just completed the 10th scarf for the month last night. Yay! It was close this month. Not quite a nail bitter, but very close. I am currently working on another scarf. Could this be the 11th this month? Or will it be the first of the next month? We will see:)
February goals will be posted soon!
Scarf on!

Scarf #7: Photo
Ah, the popcorn scarf. No, no, it isn't MADE out of popcorn. It just looks like it. You really can't tell in the picture, but this acrylic scarf is made of a swirled pattern of yellow and white --hence the name popcorn. The yellow wasn't thrilling me, so I added the white to the mix. Have to admit it didn't turn out too badly.

Aw, is it cute? Made out of baby yarn, soft and pretty. The photo does not do it justice. You are missing the soft pinks, greens and blues in this one. Ah, if I had better photography skills:(

This lovely little scarf was made out of cotton blend of blue and white. After I knitted it, I kept thinking I had a kitchen towel that matches it, lol. You got admit it has that kind of look to it. Still cute though.

Jan 10th: Update
Well, things are going a bit slow for me lately. I am afraid that I just completed the third scarf --which in and of itself is good news, but alas shows the slower pace I have made as of late. Not to fret. I am still going. It might be just the winter blues here in DC metro. It has been very cold here. Not as cold as what I was used to in Anchorage, but cold for here. I think today it will get down to the low teens. Yes, for here that is cold.
Time to knit to keep warm!

Sorry I am late getting the photos up! :(
Homespun with fun fur. The photo does not do it justice. The fun fur makes quite a fun scarf!
