It’s April 27th and I have 25 1/2 hats made.
I’ll confess, I’ve been having trouble focusing on the project. Hats are wonderful to make when it’s warm and sunny and I only have one eye for my knitting because I’m keeping one eye on the kids while they play outside. But, we have had an unusually rainy month and I have spent too many days stuck inside with stir-crazy kids. Knitting hats has gotten a bit boring.
Fortunately, I have a related project to work on.
A friend of my Mom’s made a heartfelt request that I make some chemo hats with beautiful flowers. When she was undergoing treatment she wanted one, but they were all being sold for profit and were too expensive.
I’m not really a flower-on-hat type person, so I decided to make some flower brooches which can be put on any hat, on a scarf, or wherever the wearer wants.
I found these three five seven lovely flower patterns online. I have links to all the patterns.
