Hat, Hat, and Hat

The holiday season is finally upon us! The Christmas tree and ice rink are up on Union Square, holiday sales and decorations are flooding the stores, and in less than a week we'll all hopefully be stuffing our faces with turkey and gravy (mmm....gravy. Excuse me while I daydream...)

Another sign of the season is the sudden turn in the weather here. It's been positively chilly with a couple of moderate showers thrown in. In anticipation of the cold I knit three hats in one week. Impressive, huh? We knitters call sudden bursts of productivity "stash busting," as in you finally break out your embarrassingly large stash of un-worked yarn and actually make something of all the money you sank into it. Well, it's my year to be frugal, so I'm proud to say all three of these hats were made with leftover yarn from other projects. They're not perfect, but they're really not bad for what was essentially garbage.

The brown one is a slouchy beret/beanie, the color blocked one is a fitted beanie, and the striped beanie is actually a little small for my head. Maybe my little cousin will adopt it for me. Otherwise, anyone know a small child with a cold head?
