Turn A Square

I love these hats! So far, I have made two of them out of stash Paton's Wool and Noro Kureyon and I plan on making two or three more for Christmas.

I am a huge fan of Jared Flood's designs. They are simple, but appealing. I have a couple more of his patterns queued up, including a sweater for Bill when I get around to it.

Christmas!

Well, we are about two months out from the Christmas travelling season, which means it's time to get down to some Christmas knitting! It seems that I will be knitting something for at least 6 different people this season, two hats for one person! The trick will be to do all of it from my stash.

One particular project was a very specific request, so I bought some Cascade 220 wool last month, but so far, nothing this month! I am very proud of myself for resisting temptation. I think I can actually make it all the way through the New Year with no more purchases!
