By now everyone for whom I made Christmas gifts has received them, so I can show you. I decided to go with the order in which I made them.<\/p>\n

First is a knitted baby blanket for my grandson, RCA, who will likely be born within the next 2-1\/2 weeks. The request, from his big brother, was a blanket as soft as his (the brother’s). What he loves about his blanket is the pilling of the acrylic yarn, so that’s what I used. Because RCA will be born in late December\/early January I decided to knit with 2 strands of yarn at once to produce a heavier blanket. <\/p>\n

Then I went moved to my sewing machine. I made 10 fleece hats for adults. The two on the bottom left of the photo for me, the rest are gifts.<\/p>\n

Although I like hats, I know some of the women I was making gifts for prefer handbands, so I made five of those.<\/p>\n

\"fleece<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I made two hats for kids on my list, my 4 year old grandson and 1 year old grand nephew.<\/p>\n

I ended the sewing with several infant hats from knit fabric for my new grandson and grand nephew.<\/p>\n

\"knit<\/a><\/p>\n

I got all the patterns I used free online, but I also made adjustments to every one since they didn’t exactly work as is for me. I should also mention that I don’t really know how any of the hats will fit the intended recipient. I used my head as an adult average, and made a few smaller. For the kids and infants? No real clue.<\/p>\n

Then I knit two more hats for my grandson, one with the yarn from his blanket, one with sock yarn. I love that little sock yarn hat.<\/p>\n

In my next post I’ll show you what’s come off of and is currently on my looms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
