I'm here in Florida with my mom who had surgery. I've had hours to knit down here - at the hospital and at home. Here are some hats I made for my dear cousin, Stam, who is currently having chemo treatments for breast cancer.
Fareda, the owner of the Knitting Basket LYS, gave me the pattern for this black hat. It was very easy and FAST to knit.
This other pattern I found in a magazine ("Knit 1" I think). It was a lot of knitting for a hat but it turned out great!
Both hats were made with cotton since they are for Florida. I was really pleased with them - and my cousin says she wears the white one in the house to keep her head warm.
Since making these hats I have completed a sweater for my cousin's new addition and started and completed a sweater for my nephew
down under. I'm working on a matching sweater for his brother. I'll post those pics soon.
There is a LYS downtown that I'm looking forward to visiting tomorrow. It's close enough for me to walk there. Can't wait!
Summer knitting is fast - no sleeve or necklines to worry about. Here we have Vanesa in the blue tank top Gloria made. Gloria and Anne are modeling their matching tank tops - all made in cotton. Gloria is also modeling a poncho she made. She insists that crocheting is faster than knitting and I'm becoming a believer!
Sandra came to knitting group for the first time last week and has completed a scarf that she's donating to our homeless Christmas gifts! We now have 14 scarves and only have 186 more to go!
