Three More Hats and Then Some

Seems like I've been making hats lately.  This one was for my granddaughter who's a freshman in high school, and it's their school colors. (Much to my delight, these colors were the same as my high school in Wisconsin.


I started the hat below with a different pattern and then switched to this one, a free pattern. But  I failed to caste on the correct number of stitches for the pattern, so I could only do 3 of the Fair Isle designs.  (Just yesterday I started another one with nicer yarn and the right # of stitches.)

Then the other I received a request from our daughter's mother-in-law for a Minion Hat with 2 eyes.  It's for her grandson who just turned 2. I sure hope it fits!


How's your weather today? It's chilly (for us) but the skies are clear and bright blue!  Just the other day I got this picture from my sister!  It was taken in Duluth, MN, where her husband's cousin and wife live.  I get cold just looking at this photo!


On the very same day, this is what was happening at our house.  It actually rather spring-like, and some plants were beginning to sprout. Early today, however, it was in the twenties when we got up, and I'm hoping those sprouts survive!


Enjoy your week!

What sweet hats!
That's one heck of a lot of snow you've got there. We were supposed to get some flakes later this week but that's not happening now. I just put away all my snowman decor. The crocus are coming up and the forsythia is in bloom. In January. Jeesh.

Cute hats!

We've had crazy up and down weather and lots of rain! We had one day with flurries, but by the afternoon it turned to rain.

Love the hats! It’s definitely hat weather. It’s darned cold in Wyoming this morning and every person walking their dog has a hat pulled down tight. I imagine Duluth gets plenty cold with all that snow.

Great hats! It's very cold here right now -12C. But it could always be colder -20 to minus -30 are not unheard of in our neck of the woods
