DONE!

Tuesday, December 22, 2009

Here are the Excelsior House hats, bagged up and ready to be picked up by my Hot Cousin. She'll be here this afternoon to pick them up and drop them off at the home, so the girls will have them in time for Christmas day.

The final count ended up being 198. I think that will give the staff enough wiggle room to accommodate the "over 180 residents" number, and give the girls some choice. I tried to make each hat unique, but my imagination was starting to run a little thin there towards the end.

Thank you to all who contributed to this project! I'm happy to have gotten them done in time for the holiday, and I hope the girls enjoy having them. For 2010, I'm going to start knitting in January, rather than waiting until the last minute again. Because I'll have more time, I'm hoping I can do a hat and a matching scarf for each girl. Scarves take longer than hats, though, so we'll see.

Happy Ookymmas to the girls of Excelsior House!
