So. It's been a dose of knitting reality for me these days that I am not going to finish things as fast as I planned and I must give myself a break. My goal now is to still complete the gifts, which is totally do-able, but also to not set goals for the projects for me. It's so hard not to plan ahead with all of the new patterns coming out, but I must be patient. Knitting is a hobby, it's therapy, it's supposed to be fun. Not stress. I must put the fun back into it, or else I might ruin my love of knitting.
Ok, the updates. Here are the 3 hats thus far completed.
Hat #1. For my brother, knit with the grey and stripes of blue and green mixed in. Sorry the picture is so dark.
Hat #2. For my friend, Jen. I was going to give this to another friend, but I saw Odessa and thought that would be really cute for her and a matching one for her daughter.
Hat #3. For my 18 month old nephew. This one is my totally my favorite one so far. I love how the stripes came out.

And, I picked up some Cotton Fleece to make my knock-off of Bea. But that's not til end of winter, early spring at best. No pressure! No time constraints!
The hats are really neat. Nicely done!
ReplyDeleteOMG- I am dying to make Bea, and I keep clicking over to the site to try and justify purchasing it (along with....Fay? The one below it, the purple cardi with what looks like dropped stitches). It should be an easy pattern, though, so I should just go for a sub, right?
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the holiday knitting!
The hats look great! I'm worrying a bit about my holiday gifts, even though I'm not doing as many as last year. I'm trying not to get stressed too, though.
