Knitting again...

Summer is coming to an end, school is back in session and my knitting group has started up again... thank goodness, I was beginning to go through withdrawls! Plus, I was told my blog was suffering from a busy summer schedule (thanks Sue :) Ok, Ok... I really was getting desperate to get back to my knitting! I started out this week making a quick ribbed beanie for my son. He finally got his long hair cut short and was saying his head was now cold. So, out came the needles and some Debbie Bliss donegal chunky tweed for a hat that knit up in a matter of hours (thanks Lisa for recommending this yarn, it was perfect). He was happy!

Next came another quick project for charity knitting... a cute little Halloween pumpkin hat. I just love these hats and, since it is for an infant, it also knit up in a matter of hours. I've already started my second one in Dale Baby ULL (purchased at Yorkshire Yarns in Lakewood). These hats will be for the maternity ward at Madigan Army Hospital. Next I think I will tackle some hats for our local cancer center. Can you tell I've really been into making hats lately? I just love that they are quick and fun projects. Quick is always good with me since I have the attention span of, say, maybe a 5 year old! If a project is too big, in the zzzzz or frog bin it goes. I need QUICK, I crave QUICK! My stress level (and blood pressure) can't take complicated these days! Oh ya, that cable sweater I started? Already in the "frog" bin. Darn it, maybe I just need some good pills to overcome my lack of follow through on a project, LOL!

Must get back to knitting now... Oh, by the way, what a good Mom I am :) take a look at the great poster I made my daughter from the Jonas Brothers concert back in June. Did it through Costco and, guess what? It was QUICK and it was EASY... my new motto. I framed it and hung it in her room before she got home from school. She gave me the biggest hug I've ever had, that sure brightened my day! Have a great night!
