Hat Season

It's that time of year when I'm always wearing a hat . . . walking the dog, running to the post office.  My office can be cool and drafty so some days I even wear one while I'm working at my desk.

My pandemic coping strategy includes looking for cheer, and I decided a couple new hats would lift my spirits.  Last month I made the Star Top Beanie, and I love it.  A soft, cozy mohair hat cheers me up, so earlier in the week I cast on another one.

This time I'm using Dark Chocolate.  It's the perfect project for meetings or those times when I just need to knit a few simple rounds.  Fuzzy Hat Kits are available on the website and include a coordinated pom pom.  Treat yourself or make one for a gift.  It's hat season.

Before the Pie . . .

It's pie baking day, but I'm taking a little break from kitchen duty to catch up with a few things at my desk.  I've updated the website with a couple items.

Fuzzy Hat Kits.  Upgrade your favorite hat pattern and add mohair.

The kit includes 1 skein of Lucia DK, 1 skein of Shimmer and 1 faux fur pom pom with ties.  I gave it a test run with the Star Top Beanie.  Kobuk would also work.  Use one of these patterns or substitute a different one that calls for similar yarn.  Fuzzy Hat Kits come in a variety of colors.

Snuggle Bundles for The Snuggle is Real have also been listed.  This cozy cowl features two layers.  The outer layer uses slip stitches for the colorwork.  The contrasting lining is made with an angora blend for extra warmth and softness.  Available in several colors.

Just a reminder there is free shipping this weekend.  It starts on Friday and runs through Monday.

I also want to give a shoutout to Vermont Sheep and Wool.

They've put together an afternoon of fun on Black Friday.  Stay home instead of going to the mall.  All the details are on their Facebook page.  Check it out.

I'm off to throw a few pies in the oven.  If you're celebrating tomorrow, keep it simple and stay safe.
