Hat #2: Photo (January Goal)















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!

Ah, love is in the air, isn't it? Perfect time for a pink scarf. Made out of acrylic and with my knitting board, this is a nice festive scarf. Snuggle up, honey. Cupid is approaching!
