Hats for HAIN

these are the hats that I made for HAIN for the fall Children's Drive.  I mailed them today.  Those bright pink hats were so much fun to make.  I will be  making more of those styles.  Most of the hats were rather plain, but they will warm.  There are also some purchased hats in the box that went in the mail today....no pics of them, tho.  I tried to make a variety of sizes, since kids come in all sizes, too.

   Now I have started knitting and crocheting hats for dd Kimmie's collection at her workplace.  Also, will start looking for the yarn to complete the round robin#3 blanket that has been patiently waiting for an edging.

Susie gets a new hat.

 Jimmy is taking a break from hat modeling.  So, being the sweet little girl that she is Susie came to the rescue.  She is modeling my latest creation for Heavenly Angels in Need(HAIN).
I used I Love This Yarn(which I don't) for this and the hats I posted yesterday.  Embellished with purple Simply Soft and some black faux fur yarn.  I hope some 8 or 10 yr. old will love it.
I have a never ending supply of yarn, so while I was searching for the faux fur yarn I found a lot more yarn to try using up.  My dh says it multiplies in the boxes, LOL.
Gotta go choose the next yarn for the next hat for HAIN.   I saw some blue denim colored yarn in the stuff I found today, I'm thinking I'll knit a boys beanie with it.  Crocheting is so much faster, but I really prefer knitted hats for boys and to be fair I really need to do a few for boys, too.  Now, to find some knitting needles the right size.

Nearly a year?! Oh My!

I would be embarrassed if it weren't for the kind of year that we have had. We moved 400 miles after months of searching and delay after delay when we finally did find a house.

Anyhoo, here are pics of 2 hats that I crocheted in the last 2 days for Heavenly Angels in Need.

No pattern, just a basic crocheted hat and when it was 'long' enough I did a row of single crochet from the wrong side to form the turn for making the band. Poor Jimmy he always gets stuck wearing the girls hats for pics. He's such a good boy. The second pic is of a teen/adult size hat made the same way as the one with the purple band. I just improvised to create the flower. These hats and a dozen others that were knitted will be going to Diana with the HAIN group to distribute to needy children in Nov.

I also need to whip some hats out for a collection done at my dd's place of employment. Better get going, eh?
