Here is the latest hat to come off Schnapps' needles. Hope Bubbles Up! Thank you Penny for the name. Another super-fast and super simple pattern, it flies off your needles using super bulky yarn. There are instructions for varying the yarn weight as well, so this can be a great stash buster.
Happy First Night of Hanukkah!!!
I'm in full holiday rush mode and I'm sure many of you are as well. Trying to finish all the holiday gifts while still getting at least 2 hats done each week for Delaware Head Huggers. I can't believe that this year is almost over already.
