Hat-a-Week

[karin4christ]

What week are we on??? I don't think any of us know. Let me grab my calendar and see if I can figure it out. Okay, I think that week 22 started today. Correct me if I'm wrong ladies (and any gentlemen). I finished another hat this morning ( ). Its called the Addison Hat. It can be found here

I would recommend this pattern. Its fairly quick to finish. Once you get to round 5, its just a repeat of two different rows. So, its one of those easy patterns you can do while watching a movie, etc. without having to constantly look at the directions.

I also started another hat today. Its one of Dot's and can be found here

I'm on round 9 and it seems to be working out well.

I don't know how long I can keep my hat momentum up but I hope to catch up to week 22 before I run out of steam.

A few posts back I posted a childs hat pattern for week 21 so week 22 is correct. If you need the pattern drop me a PM and I will gladly share it with you

[Jimmie Lu]

Duhhh!! I forgot to mention I got week 5 done so that is 6 weeks of hats under my belt.

Now you ladies here who have been here since Jan arent gonna let a newbie pass you by are you?

Hummm I hope not!!!

A question?

What are you ladies all doing with these hats?

I am donating mine to the Native Am. children in South Dakota for Christmas and some I am taking to Mexico for the children there.

I donate mine to Pine Ridge. I will also make some for Operation Christmas Child (Thanks to a previous post giving me the idea.) I also give them to children at school where I work. I rarely keep them.

Hi Guys & Gals,

 

I just added the links to the second post for weeks 21 & 22.

 

It sure would be helpful if someone would PM me with whatever has been decided for that week, instead of me digging through the posts. I *still* have dial-up at home, so going through posts can be wearying.

 

One of these days I'm gonna catchup again. Hard to believe we're almost at the halfway point huh?

Halfway????? That is scary...which would mean that I am only to the quarter mark!!! I only got one hat done this week so far, but I plan on making at least 2-3 more so I can work on getting caught up.

I think I'm gonna start making children's hats for OCC. They're faster and I won't get so overwhelmed.

I am going hat crazy now. I just found this CAL yesterday and have made two hats! I used the pattern from I believe week 20 (a warm fuzzy). I did not use the yarn it called for, I used an acrylic/wool blend from Wool-Ease's Chunky line. I used an N hook and for the side I added 4 extra rounds (so I went to rnd 19). I also did a round of sl st for the last round to finish it off more. As you can see, I did one plain and one with a white-stripe. One 5 oz. skein of this yarn made both hats!

[b1jah2]

And I sat down and made another one today! I used the tri-colored cloche pattern from week 3.

That's beautiful, Jennifer. Keep up the good work and you'll be passing all of us that have been trying since January.

Hi Jennifer, your hats look beautiful. You have done a great job. I love the purple ones...(well, I am biased since that is my favorite color and all) You will catch us in no time at all.

[karin4christ]

Love your hats Jennifer! I made a hat yesterday out of Homespun yarn. I had never used it before but I found three partial skeins at our thrift store and got them. I love how soft and squishy the hat turned. It should really keep someone warm in the winter. But my goodness how can you find your stitches with Homespun? Thank goodness the pattern I used was an easy one.

[Jimmie Lu]

I am finished last weeks hat and this weeks

so the rest of the week I will be catching up

I have pictures on the digital of what I have thus far I need to load them maybe tonight and post them

[karin4christ]

I finished hat #20 this morning. I think I'm going to start dreaming about crocheting hats. This hat was Jimmie Lu's pattern. Thank you very much for posting this pattern for us Jimmie Lu. I used a leftover skein of yarn that felt like RedHeart SuperSaver. I want to try this pattern again using Caron Simply Soft.

[Jimmie Lu]

Karin I am now working on a boys hat pattern I hope I can share it here when its done. Its very cool

[mom4x]

[Lavelle26]

Well, I am almost done with # 10 (has Jimmie Lu passed me yet?) This one is taking a bit longer cause I am designing it and it is a baby bonnet done in size 10 and 30 thread. I hope to have it finished tonight.

[karin4christ]

Lavelle26, if I was doing a hat in size 10 and 30 thread I wouldn't be done with it until next year!! The smilies are cheering you on. :cheer :cheer
