November 13, bear hat

Since we had a bit of frost last night it is time for hats and mittens. I started this bear hat last February in a crochet-along and did not quite finish it. My niece's son for whom it was intended has outgrown it I guess, so I made the final touches (spot on the eye, ribbons to tie it with and will send it to someone who was born this Summer.
So I hope she will enjoy it.

I also finished those little hats (see November 4th) and put them in the mail as well. They will serve as small reminders, and raise funds for the elderly. So I've added 15 more to the 39458 already received. Feels good! (and thanks to two girls who helped me decorate them)

November 4, small hats

Today I went to the hospital with someone and because I had a lot of waiting (and knew in advance) I took some scrap yarn with me and made these little hats.

They will be sold with Innocent smoothies, in the Big Knit Campaign (20 cents of every smoothie sold will be handed over to a Foundation for the Elderly). Last year's record (to which I also contributed...) was 104,387, now 39,458 hats have already been sent. And the deadline is December 1st. So I still have time to embellish some of these, and maybe crochet some more.
