Just finishing up a little holiday gift knitting on the car ride to see my family for Christmas, no biggie d…

Ha ha! I ended up liking the yarn I used so much to make this hat, that I got a few more skeins in different colors to gift them to family members for our Christmas celebration this past weekend.

I got the yarn on the 8th and gave myself seven days to finish three hats before we left on the 15th. Accomplished! (with a little work in the car, ha)

I’ve used the same pattern for six hats now. I asked my snister to bring the other two hats I’ve made so I could get a photo of everyone with their hats together.

I’m going to make two more hats with this pattern and yarn then move on to something else (hopefully, if I have time with the move!).

It was great to see my family this weekend! It’s rare that I get to spend time with all of my siblings and their partners together, so it’s a treat when it happens. I hope it happens again before we all go to Alaska in June!

Matching scarves! (We needed those scarves! The high on Sunday was -4°F!!! My family said the hats are VERY warm. Ha ha, good!)

      Thank you! My mom actually gave me a pattern for a cute owl hat so I may make that? Although by the time I do it, it may not be hat season anymore, ha ha.

  2. Cute hats! Did you make one for Data? How about a cat theme hat for your cat?

    Yay, congrats on finishing your last-minute knitting! (We should start planning for our Christmas knitting soon hahahaha.) The photo of everyone wearing their Kim-made hats is so special!

    That’s so impressive you got those hats finished that quickly! They look great.

    Ooh, nice work with the hats! Those look great! Also love the look on James’ face in the photo with your other nephews. Babies have the best facial expressions. And I think it’s smart to work on knitting in the car. Makes the time go by faster! Glad you had an awesome time with the family! 🙂

      Thanks!

      We have so many cute pics of him making faces from this weekend! I tried not to go too overboard on here, ha!

      Yeah! Knitting mostly helped me stay awake for the long drive! Did you do your holiday with your family yet?

    Those are cute hats! love the yarn! I have taken a break from Crochet…no one is having any babies anytime soon that I know of so I am on hiatus! I started cross stitching which has been a nice break.

  9. I have yet to make a hat – I really need to branch out from scarves! Yours look great!
