On The Needles


On the needles is still the Rival Cardigan that has been put on hold while I work on hats.


These little socks were the ornaments I made for our ornament exchange last Saturday.
They were so much fun to make but 
even more fun was the reaction of my friends when they each received their very own hand made sock.
I thought about doing pairs but 
I think it's more fun to make single socks instead of trying to make matching ones.


This Bun Hat is for Leland.
I knew I had seen the pattern on someone's On The Needles post but couldn't remember who.
It was Howdy's post here!!!
I like the yarn she used and may just pick up a skein or 5 when I go shopping today 
for the other hats that were requested.
So much easier than joining new colors and making jogless stripes.

See other On the Needles projects at Patchwork Times.

I found the pattern for the bun hat on Ravelry when you mentioned the hat last week! I've made 2 for my Great Grandson and have more to make for his sisters (triplets)

Your little socks are just adorable! I found a pattern last night to make some and after seeing yours, I am really motivated. The Bun Hat is just too cute, too. I hate cold weather, but do like the hats, scarves and mittens that go along with it. Happy knitting!

That is a good idea for a quick gift. I might make some for my quilting group. Thx for the rav link for the hat.

What a clever idea for the little socks. They are too cute. Just the perfect size for some candy kisses.
Thanks for the link to the Bun hat. My DH wants a hat down on his neck and this will be perfect.
