merry christmas to me Tis the season for presents, right? I had to do it. I got tired of making calmer caps and having to give them away, so I finally made one for myself.
I used some Phildar Sport Laine I had in my stash (thanks, Becky!), which is aran weight wool so despite the lace patterning this hat should keep my head pretty warm. It seems like at some point in the history of my being cold, I decided that all of my own winter hats, scarves, gloves should be this blue color (exhibit a: my blue hat). I have to admit to being lazy fashion girl with only two pairs of shoes and one hat/scarf set! But with a small stash of pale blue yarn, I can always make myself a little something new that still matches everything I've already got. It's a great excuse for me to pick up lovely blue yarn whenever I see it. And a couple of skeins will do in a pinch for a stocking stuffer for me (hint, hint - tee hee). posted by alison at 9:01 am | in

Cute hat. Only two pair of shoes? I went out today and bought two pair. Working retail for Christmas has my feet hurting so I took the plunge and bought two more pairs, now to throw out the older ones. I did finish up two pair of felted mittens over the holiday. Two hats to go and finish up another hat. Plus, my mothers felted bag when the Lily pattern gets here.

What are they? Posted by: Melissa at November 29, 2003 1:38 PMNice hat! I like it! 2 pairs of shoes? I'm impressed. I don't have tons of them, because they don't make very many cute shoes in an AA width, but I have more than 2! :-) Posted by: Sarah Elizabeth at November 29, 2003 1:59 PMThat hat looks smashing on you Alison!
