Another ornament, another hat

 

Once again, I started my day with tatting. I finished this button ornament before breakfast. I guess I should let you know that I started tatting about 5:30 and didn't eat breakfast until 9!

I've been busy working on another hat. This one is for Peyton. With any luck, I'll finish it tomorrow!

More of the same

The red child's hat I made the other day was too small for Kelly's kids, so I tried a different pattern. I'll give it to her tomorrow. Hopefully, this one fits better!

I'm very pleased that my ornament collection is growing. I may get tired of tatting the same pattern, but for now I'm really enjoying myself!

 

Buttons and beanies

Between button ornaments and hats, I've been keeping very busy!

Fiber Spider did a tutorial on this waffle stitch beanie. I decided to use up some of my leftovers from the projects I've been working on the past few months. I didn't have quite enough red, so I finished it in white. I think I have my Santa hat for next year!

Keeping a steady pace

 

My 2023 ornament collection is growing steadily. I won't be caught short next Christmas!

Today I tried another crocheted beanie pattern. This is a child sized cap that I gave to our band director for one of her children. It worked up pretty quickly, but I think I like some of my other patterns better. 

On to the next project!

Absent minded

I went on my computer to blog last night, and then I forgot to blog!

I finished two projects yesterday, the first was another button ornament. When looking at my partial ball of thread, I never would have thought that I'd get this many ornaments out of what was left. I may be tatting with this thread for another week!

I finished another crocheted hat last night. This isn't for anyone in particular. I'm just having fun playing with patterns. I may have a hat stash by the end of winter!

Three finishes

I gave up searching for my bag of pom poms and ordered some new ones. Grace's hat is finished now, and I can give it to her at school tomorrow.

I finished another crocheted hat today. I think I should have made it a row or two longer. I haven't decided yet if I'll add a pom pom.

Another 2023 ornament is ready! I'm not sure I can keep up the pace of an ornament a day, but it's been fun so far. I'll be back at school tomorrow, so we'll see how much I accomplish!

Staying on track

Today was a success! I finished the day's laundry, managed to get my walking in, went to lunch with Mom, and did some crafting.

I really think this button ornament is going to be my 2023 ornament. I can make one in a little over an hour, and I have a good supply of buttons and threads. Button and thread colors may differ, but I really am enjoying working this design.

I finished Rigo's wrist warmers today. I will be making some more for other high school boys, but there won't be the push that I had with the girls.

Right before dinner, I started crocheting a beanie in the round. I haven't made one of these in several years, so I'm eager to see how it turns out in comparison to the hat I made for Grace. I'm hoping to finish it in time for heading back to school on Thursday so that I can get feedback from the kids.

I still haven't found my pom poms. They have to be here somewhere!
