I can now post about some projects that were a secret until yesterday!
I made a Sockhead Hat for me about a year or so ago (it has a fun story...you can read about that HERE and HERE). My hubby loved it so much that I made one for him earlier this year. And, my daughter loved it so much that I made one for her and gave it to her for Christmas yesterday.
I need to get some pics of her wearing it but here are some I took before I wrapped it up...
My friend at Inner Yarn Zen dyed this yarn and it was love at first sight. It turned out that it was love at first sight for my daughter too. I quickly decided to use it to knit a hat for her.
It's interesting how the color spiraled up the hat. Then, when I started to decrease for the top, the spiral reversed. Pretty cool!
This is a free pattern on Ravelry and we all love how it fits and feels. It calls for sock yarn which turns out to be perfect for a hat. It's warm but not thick. The wide band at the bottom allows to double it up for extra warmth and style or to wear it as a single layer if it's not quite so cold. We also love that it fits nice without being too snug. That makes it extra comfy and nice to wear. The slouchy part is cute too. For my hubby, I gave his hat just a touch of slouch.
I love the creamy white and the little bits of Fall color in the stripes.
I made a dream catcher for my daughter too. I used a metal ring that I had and some left over yarn. I think it could use a little something extra but haven't figured out exactly what or how I want to go about it though. Probably some beads and feathers. But, it's kind of cute the way it is too.
It's leftover Pagewood Farm yarn in the "Army Girl" colorway. I absolutely love the colors in this yarn. I originally used it to crochet a lace shawl.
I used a doily pattern and just crocheted part of the center. I like the little picots. They're kind of like little flower buds.
My daughter hung it up right away and it matches her room!
I'm happy to announce that she loved both gifts! And, I did a little de-stashing too! ;-)

The hat is very pretty! Looks like a great knit!
Two lovely gifts! And both in interesting and unusual colors :)
I've been getting a lot of wear out of my Hayhauler Helmet already this year - so glad I finally made myself a hat!
I'm glad you had a happy Christmas! xx
I need to make my husband a hat. I've never crocheted one but surely it must be something I can accomplish. :) The yarn you used is lovely. Dream catchers definitely need dangly bits. :) I'd like to make some ... so many things I want to make. Best wishes for the new year, Tammy
