Still knitting hats.

It's actually a little more complicated of a decrease than what I do.
Just like to do different patterns once in a while. I have made
several, our group delivers them to the mission in Rockford Illinois.
I hope you all are able to sneak a little crochet, knitting or other
crafts and arts.
I will be below 0 Fahrenheit New Years night.
I have had 2 great nephews and 2 great nieces in 2009. I really enjoyed
making the baby blankets for them.
Gail made me a Santa Claus suite 30 years ago. I found out I have
shrunk a lot since I was a young man. I wore it to the nursing home to
see her. A small tear ran down her face and smiled from ear to ear as I
walked toward her bed, she is on a trek now. She can still talk for a
short time. My Son and his girlfriend help me that day.
Super embarrassment!!!!! As I walked up to the desk to sign in to the
nursing home. My son's girlfriend was had her arm folded in mine as my
son followed with my walker. As I approached the desk my red pants
dropped down to my ankles. The lobby of the nursing home was loaded
with people, they roared in laughter. Thank God I had my blue-jeans on
under the Santa suite, they still roared in laughter. It was funny even
for me.
What are you all working on?

Hi everybody....I still lurk and this subject caught my eye<G> I found a
really neat Hat Pattern and made about 8 this year for friends and
family.......my teen nieces loved theirs and I can't stop making
them.......there are 3 parts so I guess that keeps my interest.......you
work the bottom flat then connect it in the round, knit for about 3 inches
and then do the decreases. It's also a great way to use up your one skeins
of worsted weight yarn. I used Vana's Choice Yarn which is my current fave
acrylic.
From the blog:
After seeing a similar hat on the Banana Republic website this past
autumn/winter, I decided I wanted to come up with my own button-tab hat. The
hat is easily modifiable by just changing the stitch pattern of the brim and
it's a good way to use up some of those spare buttons in your button jar.
