Great Auntie Marge's Country Hats

Wednesday, December 16, 2009


Here are the hats made with yarn purchased by my Great Auntie Marge of tiny Holyoke, Colorado. She said she wanted "bright, colorful yarn" for her portion of this project, and I thought this fit the bill. Thanks for your support, Margie!

The Excselsior House hat count is now at 183, and I have a conundrum. The web site indicates they have "over 180 residents," which of course encourages me to ask the question - HOW MANY MORE? I don't want to knit too few and have the horrifying scenario of some poor girl getting left out, but I am heartily sick of knitting these damn hats to the exclusion of other activities. I expect I'll continue to knit until December 20th, then I'll call my Hot Cousin to come get the goods. Hopefully I'll have enough done by then to give the staff some wiggle room, and the girls some choice.

You rock!
How many other people do you think are giving away "over 180" handmade gifts to people they don't know, just to put a smile on their faces?

Ya done good.

Tell your hubby you want a trip to Antigua for X-mas. No tree, no stockings, no fuss - just ocean.

Thanks, Venus. We're planning a Caribbean cruise for the spring, to celebrate our 12th anniversary. That'll do me just fine.

Not that I'm not interested in visiting Antigua, too...
