A hat? Check!

 One hat is done.  Pattern is the 1898 hat and I used Vanna's Choice yarn.  I add a few additional rows to the band as well as to the 'height' in order to better fit a man.


- THIS is adorable - and rather than use it as a purse I think it would make a great gift bag.

- If you have a dog on your Christmas list, perhaps you'd like to give them some of THESE.

- I make THESE for our grandies every Christmas but don't know if I've shared the tutorial before.  If I have, it bears repeating.

- THIS might make a nice gift, particularly if it was accompanied by a bouquet of seasonal flowers.

- I should make THIS gift for myself!

- THIS would make a cute little gift for someone.

- If you are wanting to make some quick ornaments, how about giving THIS idea a try.

- There are a number of gifting ideas HERE.

- If you have little ones in your life, perhaps THIS might be fun.  After all, sometimes Santa needs a little help!

Today the quote is from St. Francis of Assisi..."For it is in giving that we receive"

    1. Thanks Catherine. Hope your Christmas is wonderful too. I'm happy to use up some stash yarn so you'll likely see several different variations with black as the base.

  5. The hat turned out beautifully! It’s always inspiring to see handmade creations for such a good cause. I’ve been busy taking care of some auto repair in logan ut lately, but posts like these remind me how fulfilling it is to create something with your hands. Keep up the amazing work!
