This has been a busy week, but Schnapps and I managed to get a second hat finished........ thank you Joyce for the name!
If you haven't already, join our Facebook
page to get new patterns as soon as they are finished and to see how we are trying to help the hurricane victims.
For the entire month of November, I will be donating 100% of ALL pattern sales to hurricane relief. So far, I've donated $200 worth of needed items to hurricane relief efforts. Our car was packed and we dropped items off at a local firehouse. They were transporting the things to NYC on Saturday. I'll be in touch to see what else is needed and will continue to support relief efforts. I have friends who still do not have power in NY and things are really grim. Please, help in any way that you can.

I knit this hat using Wool Ease Thick & Quick, but any super bulky yarn would work well. I happened to have a skein left over from an afghan project and decided to put it to good use. I've included directions for changing yarn weights also.
The pattern can be found as a PDF on Scribd.com .
