Year of the Hat 2011

9 Done

gnome hat take 1

January's hat

The start of the obsession. I promised an intermediate hat for one of our classes. That meant making up a pattern. This was the proto-type.

February's hat

This was the next hat finished, although not the next hat started. January's was for a child, needed to revise the pattern for an adult.

March's hat

Hat #2 started. Darn it, had to abandon for a while as some of my repeats no longer worked on the enlargement of January's hat.

April's free class

April's hat

Drop everything and get a free class up for April. Phew. Back to May's hat (gnome take 5, I don't even want to talk about Gnome hat take 4 yet.)

Hat up for auditioning

May's hat

Drop the original May hat and work on free class for May. Then drop that, and get a hat for a play. Occassionally I wonder if planning something has any use. Maybe I should start just going with a total lack of planning and see if that reduces the number of things I have to get done on the list.

2nd Hat up for the play

June's hat

Stop the lace shawl! Auditions for Knit One Purl the Other start soon! The play uses 2 hats that are almost the same . Phew, made it just in time.

Another gnome hat

July's hat

Allright. It's August and I am now officially behind schedule. I must say I should get credit for knitting 3 'gnome hats'. Do you know how much extra yarn and time they take? I don't either, but it's a lot!

Squares Squared Hat

August's hat

Allright. It's September and I am still behind schedule. But look for another in a different color scheme soon!

Cool to be Square Hat

September's hat

Thank Heavens, another hat done. How does Emily keep up?
