I've been seeing a lot of people having really difficult times with their mothers lately, and while I don't claim to be the perfect daughter, I've been thinking about my own mother and feeling a lot of gratitude for all she does for me, particularly what a fantastic grandmother she is. So of course, this translates into The Knitting Crazy because I decide, one week before Christmas, to make her a shawl to show my appreciation. We won't talk about how far I've gotten with that crazy idea so far.
What I have finished for Christmas is a heck of a lot of hats.
From top left, a Lollipop Hat from
Cosy's Knit One, Embellish Two in Malabrigo Worsted; a
Baby Jester Hat, also in Malabrigo; a detail of a Windschief Hat in Malabrigo Worsted Vaa; another Cosy pattern, a Root Vegetable Hat in Malabrigo Chunky; another Lollipop, and finally, a
Grace Lace Beret in Malabrigo Silky Merino.
Other than the shawl, I have two hats left to go. How is your holiday knitting coming along?
