Obsess much?

Ok, in the last week I have made:



  • Three scarves (2 child size and 1 adult)


  • Two baby hats


  • Three child size hats (four if you count my first attempt dud)


  • Two adult size hats (and one in the works, half way done)

Can't



Stop!!!!



I don't know why, but I've become positively addicted to knitting!  It's become like a drug, Alex has become a knitting orphan, he comes up to me, begging for me to read him a book and I say "Just one more row Sweetie, I promise".  The next thing I know, he's passed out on the floor and I'm tying off the top of yet another hat.  It seems I only leave the house these days to go to the craft store for more yarn.  It's gotten so bad that I'm DREAMING about knitting.



To my credit, three of the hat/scarf sets and the set I'm currently working on are going to be holiday gifts.  So it's not like I'm just making my own personal hat army.  It's so fun to me, that I can start with just a big ball of yarn and just by making a series of loops and knots, I've created from nothing, something.  A hat!



Here are a couple of my favorites:

I made this one for Alex, but he hates it.  Won't even get near it.  I did manage to get it on his head once and it was really cute, but I doubt if he'll ever wear it.



Hats_002
This is the cutest thing ever. It's itty bitty and soft as can be.  Alex LOVES this one, but it doesn't come any where near fitting his head (which I'm sure John is happy about, it being all "sugar and spice and everything nice" and all).  He just likes holding it and rubbing it on his cheek. 



Hats_004
This is a set I'm planning to give our friends' three year old daughter for the holidays.  I'm in the process of making her mother a matching set( without the colorful fluffy parts).
