Anybody still knitting hats?

From afghans for Afghans knit-and crochet-along

Here are a couple I just finished for afghans for Afghans. They're made with some lovely bulky alpaca/wool yarn donated to the group for baby blankets. I made these from leftover skeins. They aren't washed and blocked yet, but it felt so good to get them done I thought I'd post them anyway.

Hope the rest of you are knitting along happily, if quietly.

A Few More

Catching Up

So it wasn't until I commented on the previous post that Sarah was not alone on this blog it was just that I hadn't knitted a hat in a while...that I realized I was fibbing...I've knit two and never got around to posting is all...

Here's Andy's New Hat:
Yes, that would be sock yarn on size #2 needles...I tend to go small with skul caps...
I used Ken's version of a roll-brim "half-dome" (on Knitty I think...)

And then, there is Andy's New Snowboarding Hat:
He has actually used it every time he's gone snowboarding this season...so for $9.00, I'm happy it is useful...I used Vanna's Choice yarns from JoAnn when they were on super sale for less than $3.00 a ball. I did have to buy the US 11 bamboo needles I used (yarn was held double)...so I guess it's a little more than $9.00. It's my version of the Jayne (Cobb) Hat made so popular by "Firefly."

And that would be it...if I'm fibbing again it's only due to short-term-knitting memory loss...

Two more...

Am I the only one posting here??
