Posted under hats
Thanks to A Loose Knit Group’s goal of making hats for the month of February, I have discovered the pleasure of knitting simple beanies for gifts. These are super quick to knit, taking only a day for me to do.
Pattern: Just Your Basic Beanie
Yarn: Peruvian Sierra Aran in Chestnut and Knitpicks Swish Superwash in Jade
Needles: Size 8US/5mm
I don’t have much worsted or aran weight in my stash so I’m severely tempted to acquire more just to be able to throw a hat on the needles whenever I feel like it. They’re the perfect instant gratification project.
Only I’m running out of heads to put them on and I’m certainly not going to be wearing them in this tropical climate. So I’m searching about for a good charity to hand them off to. I’m hoping to find one with a domestic violence affiliation, but I’m open to suggestions. So if you have a favorite charity, please leave me the information in the comments. :)
A major plus to finding a good charity to knit hats for is the justification it provides for breaking my yarn diet. After all what could be more altruistic then yarn for charity? It’d be for a very noble cause. Really. Stop making those faces.
Did you catch the paw action in my first photo? That’s Scheyer vying for some attention. He’s made himself quite comfortable with us as you can see here.
Kitten love. How sweet it is.
Happy Tuesday everyone!
